ci: cache embedded postgres binaries in flake checks (#26986)

flake-go keeps failing every `TestServer` subtest that boots `coder
server` with built-in PostgreSQL ([example
run](https://github.com/coder/coder/actions/runs/28685288282/job/85134336803))
with `no version found matching 13.21.0`, which is embedded-postgres's
error for any non-200 while downloading the Postgres binary archive from
Maven. The archive gets cached under the server's config root, which is
a fresh temp dir in every test, so with `test-count: 35` one flake run
downloads it dozens of times and Maven rate-limits the runner. Using an
external Postgres (like coder/terraform-provider-coderd#370 did) would
defeat the point, since these subtests exist to exercise the built-in
Postgres path.

Instead, `startBuiltinPostgres` now honors `EMBEDDED_PG_CACHE_DIR` as
the archive cache path (test runs only, data/runtime dirs stay
per-test), and flake-go.yaml wires in the existing `embedded-pg-cache`
actions the same way the Windows/macOS lanes in ci.yaml already do. All
iterations then share a single download, and usually zero once the
actions cache is warm. The upload step only saves on `main`.
