- Look up containers by name instead of listing all of them
- On Linux, cache the docker proxy discovery instead of starting a probe container per job
- Download a job's actions concurrently and share identical fetches between concurrent jobs
- Cache `runner.arch` per run and poll service health every 250ms
- Cache server: queue on an in-process lock instead of polling the database file lock, upload S3 objects up to 64MiB in one request and larger ones in 4 concurrent parts

A runner nested behind another runner's docker proxy, as in gitea.com CI, had its `com.gitea.runner.job` label overwritten by the outer proxy, so its job cleanup removed nothing. This failed `TestDockerProxyWithDaemon` depending on the CI host, for example on https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/pulls/1312.
Each proxy now sets `com.gitea.runner.job.<job>` and cleans up by that key, so nested proxies keep each other's. This replaces the `com.gitea.runner.job=<job>` label.

Podman creates a missing bind source instead of rejecting it, so the Docker proxy probe passed even when the daemon could not see the runner's files. Jobs of Podman runners in a container got an empty directory at `/var/run/docker.sock` (https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/issues/1193#issuecomment-1700501).
The probe now binds the directory and stats its marker through the created container. A runner in a container stats the marker through its own container, so it no longer creates probe containers, which cost up to 2s per job. `make test-dind TARGET=podman` runs the probe against Podman in CI.

Containers a job starts through its Docker socket, for example `docker run -v "$PWD:/src"`, `./data:/data` in docker compose, or actions like dockerfile-roast, can now bind-mount the workspace and other paths the job sees, as on a host, without `bind_workdir`.
The per-job Docker proxy rewrites container and volume create requests. A bind source, or the device of a `local` volume with `o: bind`, that lies under one of the job container's mounts is pointed at that mount's path on the daemon, read from inspecting the job container. Paths that already name a daemon path, like `GITEA_DOCKER_WORKSPACE`, and paths outside the job's mounts pass through unchanged.
The proxy now also starts when the runner runs in a container given the host's Docker socket, by placing its socket in the runner's working directory, and in rootless dind, by granting the daemon socket's group through an ACL.

Fixes https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/issues/1213
Fix the DooD regression that mounts `/var/run/docker.sock` as a directory. Keep the Docker proxy available through job and post steps. Clean stale resources before opening it, then remove containers before their networks and volumes during teardown.
Use a unique filesystem probe and preserve socket ownership. Fall back to direct access when proxying is unsupported. Preserve exec output and clean up active streams and failed starts.
Add a real Docker job test for mounted socket access, post steps and resource cleanup.

1. Add `GITEA_DOCKER_WORKSPACE` which holds the workspace path as the daemon sees it, enabling `${GITEA_DOCKER_WORKSPACE:-.}/data:/app/data` in a compose file without having to resort to `bind_workdir` (which causes much more problems like breaking `actions/cache` because of unstable workspace paths).
2. Add container/network/volume cleanup for containers started within jobs, for example via `docker compose` inside a job. It works by running a lightweight docker socket proxy and injecting a `com.gitea.runner.job` label into every container creation and that label is used to remove containers started by that job at the end. Perf impact of this is near-zero.
