Fix CI for the user-scoped runners

- ci.yml: connect to the test MariaDB as root so Django creates the test
  database itself (no client install/grant step), and drop actions/cache
  (cache: pip/npm): Gitea's cache service hangs the job on restore/save.
- publish.yml: prefer the REGISTRY_USER/REGISTRY_TOKEN secrets (as on other
  repos) and fall back to the automatic Actions token.
- AGENTS.md: note the CI layout, the runner labels and the cache caveat.
