test: write-then-rename script-bin helpers (avoid ETXTBSY under -race)

CI run #48 failed with:

  --- FAIL: TestRunInitShipsStartedAndFinished
      RunInit: ... fork/exec /tmp/.../restic: text file busy

setupScript and setupScriptBin used os.WriteFile to write a shell
script directly at the final path, then exec'd it. Under -race +
many t.Parallel tests, a fork-from-another-goroutine could inherit
the still-open writable fd from one of those WriteFile calls; the
kernel returns ETXTBSY when the freshly-execed binary still has a
writable fd anywhere on the system.

Fix: write to "<path>.tmp", then os.Rename into place. The rename
is a pure dirent op; by the time the final path exists, no process
has a writable fd on its inode and exec is safe. -race + -count=5
on both runner packages now passes consistently.

-# provision-gitea-runner.sh — one-shot, idempotent host setup for an
-# act_runner LXC. Speeds up Gitea Actions runs by:
-#
-#   1. Disabling forced docker pulls (image refresh moves to a cron).
-#   2. Mounting persistent host volumes for Go module/build caches and
-#      the act-actions clone cache.
-#   3. Pre-pulling the runner-images container image.
-#   4. Pre-cloning a configurable list of GitHub actions into the
-#      act cache so jobs don't fetch them on every run.
-#   5. Installing golangci-lint (latest v2.x) at /usr/local/bin.
-#   6. Setting up a nightly cron to refresh image + action clones +
-#      golangci-lint.
-#
-# The script is generic — no per-project state. Point it at any LXC
-# running act_runner as a systemd service and it will provision the
-# host. Re-runs are safe; they reconcile state.
-#
-# Usage:  sudo ./provision-gitea-runner.sh
-#
-# Configurable via environment variables (defaults shown):
-#
