Add GitHub Action for Cartesi setup - #1

Installs the Cartesi Machine emulator and the Cartesi CLI on Linux and macOS runners, on x86_64 and arm64. - emulator: machine-emulator_<arch>.deb installed through apt-get on Linux, cartesi/tap Homebrew formula on macOS - images: kernel and rootfs images pinned by the emulator release's dependencies.lock, installed where the emulator looks for them, and exported as CARTESI_IMAGES_PATH - CLI: @cartesi/cli from npm, alpha dist-tag by default, installed into the runner tool cache Both tools default to the latest release and can be pinned, or skipped with 'none'. Security: download sources are hardcoded constants that no input can redirect, every artifact is verified against a SHA-256 digest, inputs are validated against strict patterns and passed as argument arrays rather than through a shell, npm lifecycle scripts are disabled, and root is used only for apt-get and for copying the images into place.

Migrates the configuration to the v2 schema (files.includes with negated patterns, linter.rules.preset) and applies the v2 import sorting, which orders inline type imports by name.

Homebrew refuses to load formulae from third-party taps until they are trusted. Naming cartesi/tap/cartesi-machine on the install command line auto-trusts that formula, but it is a metapackage, so the install still aborted on its dependency: Refusing to load formula cartesi/tap/cartesi-machine-emulator from untrusted tap cartesi/tap. Trust the individual formulae being installed, rather than the whole tap, so trust does not extend to formulae the tap may add later. Homebrew versions without the trust concept fail the command harmlessly; brew install remains the real gate.

Releasing is now `git tag v1.2.3 && git push origin v1.2.3`. The workflow verifies dist/ matches src/ at the tagged commit, runs lint, typecheck and tests, creates the GitHub release (freezing the tag and generating a release attestation), and force-moves the floating v1 and v1.2 tags. The floating tags deliberately get no release attached, which is what keeps them movable while immutable releases are enabled, and only those two refs are pushed -- `git push --tags` would also try to force-push the frozen release tags. The trigger is a tag push rather than `release: published`: events produced with GITHUB_TOKEN do not start further workflow runs, so a workflow that created the release could never hand off to one that moves the tags. Also adds workflow_dispatch to CI so the suite can be run on demand, and keeps local biome runs from tripping over untracked editor settings.
