perf: speed up action downloads (#1209)

An action pinned to a full commit hash cloned the whole repository, and a cached one hit the network on every run. Now only the pinned commit is fetched at depth 1, a cached commit is reused with no network at all, and the action's `.git` directory no longer ships into the job container, matching GitHub.

```
