ci: split lint-actions into separate job to reduce flakes (#21834)

## Summary

The `lint/actions/zizmor` target flakes in CI due to network
connectivity issues when running on depot runners
(https://github.com/coder/internal/issues/1233). The zizmor tool needs
to reach GitHub's API but intermittently fails with "Connection refused"
errors.

## Changes

- Creates a new `lint-actions` CI job that only runs when `.github/**`
files are touched (using existing `ci` filter)
- Removes zizmor from the main `lint` job  
- Uses a Makefile conditional to include actionlint in `make lint`
locally but skip it in CI (where `lint-actions` handles it)

This reduces unnecessary flake exposure for PRs that don't modify GitHub
Actions files.

## Testing

- `actionlint` passes on the modified ci.yaml
- Verified Makefile conditional works: actionlint included locally,
skipped when `CI=true`

Fixes https://github.com/coder/internal/issues/1233
