feat(actions): support referencing ${{ needs... }} variables in runs-on (#10308)
Allows referencing the outputs of previously executed jobs in the `runs-on` field directly by a `${{ needs.some-job.outputs.some-output }}`, and also *indirectly* through the job's `strategy.matrix`.  At its most complicated, supports a workflow with dynamic matrices like this:

```yaml
jobs:
  define-matrix:
    runs-on: docker
    outputs:
      array-value: ${{ steps.define.outputs.array }}
    steps:
      - id: define
        run: |
          echo 'array=["debian-bookworm", "debian-trixie"]' >> "$FORGEJO_OUTPUT"

  runs-on-dynamic-matrix:
    needs: define-matrix
    strategy:
      matrix:
        my-runners: ${{ fromJSON(needs.define-matrix.outputs.array-value) }}
    runs-on: ${{ matrix.my-runners }}
    steps:
      - run: uname -a
```

## Checklist

The [contributor guide](https://forgejo.org/docs/next/contributor/) contains information that will be helpful to first time contributors. There also are a few [conditions for merging Pull Requests in Forgejo repositories](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/governance/src/branch/main/PullRequestsAgreement.md). You are also welcome to join the [Forgejo development chatroom](https://matrix.to/#/#forgejo-development:matrix.org).

### Tests

- I added test coverage for Go changes...
  - [x] in their respective `*_test.go` for unit tests.
  - [ ] in the `tests/integration` directory if it involves interactions with a live Forgejo server.
- I added test coverage for JavaScript changes...
  - [ ] in `web_src/js/*.test.js` if it can be unit tested.
  - [ ] in `tests/e2e/*.test.e2e.js` if it requires interactions with a live Forgejo server (see also the [developer guide for JavaScript testing](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/src/branch/forgejo/tests/e2e/README.md#end-to-end-tests)).

### Documentation

- [ ] I created a pull request [to the documentation](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/docs) to explain to Forgejo users how to use this change.
- [x] I did not document these changes and I do not expect someone else to do it.
    - Documentation already (incorrectly) states that `jobs.<job-id>.runs-on` can access the `needs` context. 😛  https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user/actions/reference/#availability

### Release notes

- [ ] I do not want this change to show in the release notes.
- [x] I want the title to show in the release notes with a link to this pull request.
- [ ] I want the content of the `release-notes/<pull request number>.md` to be be used for the release notes instead of the title.
