ci: replace staging workflows with LXC-local testing

Replace the two staging-server CI workflows and their zone-file
helpers with a single lxc-test job in ci.yaml that runs
'cmdeploy lxc-test' inside an ubuntu-24.04 runner.

The new workflow installs Incus from the Zabbly apt repository,
initialises it, bootstraps the venv, caches the base LXC image
together with SSH keys, and runs the full LXC pipeline
(container creation, deploy, DNS zones, tests).
