ci: distinguish why the QA build daemon is unreachable (#25)
SonarQube Analysis / sonarqube (pull_request) Successful in 2m40s
Tests / backend-unit (pull_request) Successful in 48s
Tests / frontend-e2e (pull_request) Canceled after 0s
Tests / backend-integration (pull_request) Canceled after 34m15s

The first dispatch failed at the wait step with nothing to act on. The
run logs showed the dind service container was never created — no service
startup output at all, and teardown reporting "No such container" for the
ID it had recorded — which is what act_runner does when it refuses a
privileged container.

From the failing step, that is indistinguishable from dockerd simply
being slow, so the step now says which one it is: if the service host
resolves, the container exists and dockerd is not serving plain TCP on
2375; if it does not resolve, the service never started and the runner
needs container.privileged.

Also raises the wait from 30s to 90s. The NAS took the full 30s before
failing, so the old ceiling was too close to the observed time to
distinguish slow from broken.

The docker CLI fallback is retained: the runner image has no docker
binary, and the static install worked.
