ci: cross-compile with crafter-build instead of pmbootstrap chroots

The pmbootstrap approach needed the privileged pmos runner, which only
fp6-img can reach. This repo already had the right flow: make-sysroot.sh
+ crafter-build --target=aarch64-alpine-linux-musl + APKBUILD.binary —
unprivileged, so it runs in an alpine:edge container on the ordinary
arch-latest runner, and minutes instead of qemu-chroot hours. The test
suite runs natively; the aarch64 binaries are further exercised by
fp6-img's chroot 'make check' whenever an image builds.

APKBUILD.binary gains the pmOS integration payload the canonical aport
ships (systemd subpackage, enable preset, wants symlink, config-gated
drop-in, kde-modem-daemon skel override) — required before this pipeline
may publish a version users upgrade to, or the upgrade would strip those
files. pkgver now follows implementations/main.cpp (sed'd by the CI, and
bumped to 0.3.1 in the file).
