Gitea runner labels

Common labels for controller-managed on-demand runners:

• ubuntu-latest — on-demand alias for gross-x86
• nix — on-demand Nix alias with 480-minute TTL
• gross-x86 — x86 fallback chain cx53 / cx43 / cx33
• gross-arm — ARM fallback chain cax41 / cax31 / cax21
• gross-x86-perf — x86 performance chain cx53 / cpx62 / cpx52
• gross-mixed-econ — mixed chain cx53 / cax41 / cx43
• gross-nix-x86 — gross-x86 + Nix bootstrap
• gross-nix-arm — gross-arm + Nix bootstrap
• gross-nix-x86-perf — gross-x86-perf + Nix bootstrap
• gross-nix-x86-highmem — CCX53-only Nix runner, 480-minute TTL
• gross-nix-mixed-econ — gross-mixed-econ + Nix bootstrap

Region order for fallback: nbg1, then fsn1, then hel1.

The legacy Kubernetes persistent pool is disabled (replicas: 0) and has no registered labels. All listed labels are handled by the VM controller. After a successful job, a bootstrapped VM remains running and idle until its next hourly lifetime boundary, capped by label TTL. A queued job from same repository with same label reuses it without another VM creation or budget reservation.
