fix: remove the job network even when container removal overruns (#1318)

Job teardown ran every step on one shared minute. When removing the job container took longer, the network removal ran on an expired context and the network stayed behind until the orphan reclaim, which only takes networks older than `workdir_cleanup_age`, 24h by default. All that time it held a subnet of the daemon's address pool.

The job and service containers are now removed in parallel, and the docker proxy sweep, the network and the volumes get a fresh budget after them. The idle reclaim takes unused networks and volumes once they are 10 minutes old, and network removal treats a network that is already gone as removed.

+## Logging

+Log through `act/common/logging`; the linter rejects importing `log/slog` or logrus elsewhere.
+A job's logger comes from `common.Logger(ctx)`; code with no job uses the package functions
+(`logging.Infof`, `logging.With`). Both take printf-style messages, and `With("key", value)` adds
+fields.
+
+- The process-wide logger masks the secrets of every live task, the job logger masks its own.
+  Going around either leaks them.
+- The job logger's output can reach the job log workflow authors see, the process-wide logger's
+  stays on the runner host, so keep operator-only detail (host paths, internal addresses) off the
+  job logger.
+- Libraries that log through logrus's or slog's global logger are forwarded to the process-wide
+  one, so they follow its level and masking too.
+- That forwarding only works while logrus's global logger is left as `logging` configures it. A
+  dependency that calls `logrus.SetOutput` or `SetLevel` breaks it, so check
+  `logging.LogrusBridgeIntact()` when adding or upgrading one.
+- Tests read what was logged with `logtest.NewLogger()`, or `logtest.SetDefault(t)` for the
+  package functions.

 ### Prerequisites
 
-Docker Engine Community version is required for docker mode. To install Docker CE, follow the official [install instructions](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).
+On the runner:
+
+- `git` 2.34.1 or newer on `PATH`, to clone reusable workflows, and actions whose host serves no archive of them.
+- `docker` or `podman` with `podman.socket` enabled, for docker mode, Docker actions and `docker://` steps. To install Docker CE, follow the official [install instructions](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).
+
+Where steps run, in the job image or on the runner in host mode:
+
+- `bash` or `sh` for `run` steps, `pwsh` or `powershell` on a Windows host.
+- `node` for JavaScript actions and `hashFiles()`.
+- `git` 2.34.1 or newer for [`builtin:checkout`](docs/builtin-actions.md).
+- `git-lfs` and `ssh` for `builtin:checkout`, only when its `lfs` or `ssh-key` input is used.
+
+Kubernetes mode needs [a few more tools](docs/kubernetes.md) in job images.
