feat(ci): prune release assets outside the newest two tags (#52) (#70)

Closes #52.

Adds `scripts/prune-release-assets.sh` and a best-effort step at the end of `build-binaries.yml`.

- Lists every release page, sorts by creation date, skips the newest two published releases, deletes the rest's attachments via `DELETE /releases/{id}/assets/{asset_id}`.
- Drafts never consume a keep slot, so a draft cannot strip the newest real release.
- Releases, tags, source archives and release notes are never touched.
- Nothing is excluded: SHA256SUMS and the wrappers go with the binaries. Checksums are only meaningful next to the files they cover, and the consumer drift-check reads the wrappers from the latest release, which stays complete.
- Failures warn and the step has `continue-on-error: true` — a stale asset is cheaper than a blocked publish.

`tests/prune-release-assets.sh` drives the script with a stub `curl`: keep window, out-of-order responses, drafts, no non-asset DELETE, short-page pagination stop, and both failure paths. Wired into `make check`.

v0.2.0 still needs its 9 assets cleared by hand in the web UI, as the issue notes.

# Delete the binary assets of every release except the newest KEEP ones.
#
# Gitea has no asset retention, so 9 assets x ~57 MB per tag pile up forever on
# the host disk (sow-tools #52). Nothing consumes an old asset: CI takes the
# Crucible binary from the Nix flake, and every deleted file is reproducible
# from its tag. Tags, source archives, release notes and the releases
# themselves are never touched — only attachments.
#
# Nothing is excluded, SHA256SUMS and the wrappers included: the checksums are
# only meaningful next to the binaries they cover, and the drift-check reads
# the wrappers from the latest release, which always stays complete.
#
# Best-effort by design: a stale asset is cheaper than a blocked release, so
# every API failure is a warning, never a non-zero exit.
#
# Env:
# API repo API base, e.g. https://git.example/api/v1/repos/owner/repo [required]
# TOKEN Gitea token with releases:write [required]
# KEEP how many newest releases stay complete (default 2)
