Replace mozilla-actions/sccache-action with a custom Forgejo-specific implementation that eliminates GitHub token dependencies.

The new action (https://git.tomfos.tr/tom/sccache-action) mirrors sccache binaries to the Forgejo package registry and queries that instead of GitHub releases, removing rate limiting issues for all contributors regardless of repository permissions.

I'll update the name and description of this PR in a bit, but in short, I've forked the sccache-action and updated it to be specifically designed for Forgejo.

In long, it uses a Forgejo workflow to mirror the sccache binaries to the package registry, then the action queries the registry to find the latest package - other than that, it should work identically to the original, including using the hostedtoolcache as you can see in the example run I've just done:

Querying Forgejo packages API: https://git.tomfos.tr/api/v1/packages/tom?type=generic&q=sccache
Found latest version: v0.10.0
try to setup sccache version: v0.10.0
sccache download from url: https://git.tomfos.tr/api/packages/tom/generic/sccache/v0.10.0/sccache-v0.10.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
Correct checksum: 1fbb35e135660d04a2d5e42b59c7874d39b3deb17de56330b25b713ec59f849b
[command]/usr/bin/tar xz --warning=no-unknown-keyword --overwrite -C /tmp/cb3bea40-7911-41dd-b790-ef3b3f155d17 -f /tmp/e191f680-7ce2-4f5f-a94c-e24fc0287cbf
sccache extracted to: /tmp/cb3bea40-7911-41dd-b790-ef3b3f155d17
sccache cached to: /opt/hostedtoolcache/sccache/0.10.0/x64

Cloning the action to use your own copy is easy (just update the default repo/owner in action.yml) but I'm happy to take the minimal traffic this will cause and I don't have any ratelimiting that'll cause it to fail 😉
