Mark superseded commits honestly instead of skipped (closes #152)
Gitea cancels an in-flight run when a newer commit lands on the same
branch and records the cancellation as `failure` / "Has been
cancelled". The workflow rewrote that to `skipped`, but Gitea's
Combine() folds `skipped` into `success`, so the combined-status API
returned green for a commit nothing had ever tested. Rewrite it to
`failure` / "Superseded by a newer commit; never tested" instead:
red-but-honest, and never `pending`, which would block the commit
forever.

Re-running the superseded commit would have been better still, but is
not reachable on this Gitea (1.25.4): its API exposes no rerun
endpoint, workflow dispatch takes a ref rather than a SHA, and every
replay would be a full uncached build with no bound on how many pile
up behind a burst of merges.

The step also stops hardcoding its status context: the logic moves into
script/ci-mark-superseded, which derives the context from the workflow
name, job id and event, and fails loudly when no status on the commit
being built carries that context, so renaming the workflow or the job
cannot silently disable the rewrite. The derivation is not byte-exact
with Gitea's own rule -- Gitea uses the job's display `name:` where the
runner exports the job id -- so adding a `name:` to the job turns every
push red rather than quietly doing nothing; the script header says so,
because that loud failure is the point. That is item 2 of
#147; item 1 there is
untouched.

Nothing about the walk may fail quietly, since the script exists to
stop CI lying quietly. An ANCESTOR_LIMIT that is set but not a positive
integer aborts instead of passing an unusable value to git and
discarding the error. A shallow clone aborts on
`git rev-parse --is-shallow-repository`: the graft makes the parent
unresolvable, so a shallow checkout is indistinguishable from a root
commit and the walk would exit 0 having marked nothing -- one dropped
`fetch-depth: 0` away, which the workflow comment now records. A
genuine root commit still exits 0, an unknown SHA has already been
rejected by the context read's 404, and the walk carries no `|| true`,
so a rev-list failure aborts. Per-ancestor status reads carry the same
`--retry 3 --max-time 30` as the head-commit read and abort on failure
rather than losing curl's exit status through a pipe.

Tests drive the script against a fake Gitea covering the cancelled,
laundered-skipped, genuinely-failed, passing and renamed cases, an
unparseable ANCESTOR_LIMIT, an ancestor whose status read answers HTTP
500, and a depth-1 clone, so jq joins the builder image to run them.
