fix(renovate): document and probe the five token scopes Renovate needs; lint daemon-bound actions
gate / gate (pull_request) Successful in 2m54s
gate / conformance (pull_request) Has been skipped

Run 350 cleared platform init (/user 200, /version 200, /repos 200), then stopped at
GET /api/v1/orgs/Home-Network with Gitea's own 403:
  token does not have at least one of required scope(s), required=[read:organization],
  token scope=read:package,write:repository,read:user
The workflow's header listed only those three scopes, and the operator minted exactly that.
Renovate's initRepo -> isOrg needs read:organization, and Gitea files /issues and /labels under
the issue scope, which the dashboard and PR labels need: write:issue.

- renovate.yaml: corrects the scope list (read:user, read:organization, write:repository,
  write:issue, read:package), with the call each serves. A new preflight step probes them with
  GETs, the token passed to curl on stdin, and names a missing scope instead of Renovate's bare
  "Authentication failure".
- ci/lint.sh: rejects workflow `uses:` lines that need a Docker daemon (docker://,
  renovatebot/github-action, docker/*-action), the class fixed in #84.

# Until it exists, this workflow FAILS LOUDLY on every scheduled run. That is intended: a
