ci: re-run make check on every cibuild instead of serving it from the layer cache (closes #115)

`script/cibuild` was plain `docker build .`. The Dockerfile does
`COPY . .` and then `RUN make check`, and Docker invalidates `COPY . .`
only on a content change, so on a byte-identical tree the check layer
was reused and the suite never ran. The script's header comment claimed
that a successful build implies all checks pass, which was false
whenever the cache was warm. Reproduced on this branch's parent: a
second consecutive run returned success in 283 ms with
`#13 [builder 9/10] RUN make check` reported `CACHED`.

That matters more here than in a typical repo. DNS is never mocked in
this repository, so the suite queries live DNS and its outcome varies
with real-world conditions; caching the verdict of a non-deterministic
check replays a stale result in exactly the case where re-running is
most valuable. It is also the gate every PR is verified through.

Fix: declare `ARG CHECK_EPOCH` immediately above the check step and
expand it into the command, with `script/cibuild` passing a fresh
`$(date +%s%N)` per invocation. A build argument's value participates in
the cache key of later instructions in the stage even when they do not
reference it, so a fresh value busts this layer either way; the value is
expanded into the command deliberately, which makes the invalidation a
property of the command string itself rather than of how a given builder
treats unreferenced args, and surfaces the epoch in the build log as a
diagnostic. Placing the ARG here and no earlier keeps the pinned
toolchain installs and `go mod download` above the invalidation line, so
only the check and the steps after it re-run. The epoch is nanosecond
granular so that two concurrent invocations starting in the same second
cannot share a value.

A plain `docker build` without the argument caches as before; nothing
outside the CI entrypoint changes behaviour.

Verified by experiment, not inspection:

- Two consecutive runs on an unchanged tree: 55.2 s and 42.2 s, both
  exit 0, with distinct epochs. The second run shows
  `RUN echo "check epoch: ..." && make check` executing for 36.0 s and
  216 passing tests across all eight packages, while `apk add`, both
  pinned `go install` steps, `go mod download`, `COPY go.mod go.sum` and
  `COPY . .` all report `CACHED`.
- Negative control: planted `internal/config/zz_negative_control_test.go`
  calling `t.Fatal("NEGATIVE-CONTROL-115: planted failure, cache did not
  serve this layer")`. The build failed in 24.7 s with exit 1, printing
  that exact message and `--- FAIL: TestNegativeControlIssue115`, and the
  check step exited with code 2. A cached layer cannot produce a failure
  predicted in advance, so this establishes the suite ran. The file was
  then removed, `git status` confirmed clean, and the tree built green
  again in 48.1 s.
- Total build time 42-55 s against the policy's 5-minute ceiling.
- `make check` green. No pin touched: the `golang` and `alpine` sha256
  digests, golangci-lint `c0d3ddc9`, and goimports `009367f5` are
  unchanged, and `.golangci.yml` still hashes to `021cc83f4e6f...`.
