ci: provision C toolchain + handle unbuildable native deps in cgo/rust legs

The lux-build self-hosted runner ships no C compiler, so every cgo=1 leg
died at "C compiler \"gcc\" not found" and the rust workspace died at
"linker \`cc\` not found" (the hqc-pqclean-e2e job already worked around
this for its own leg). Three jobs were red:

- go (amd64, 1) / ci test (amd64, 1): no C compiler; and the dead ./cgo
  (luxlink) package hard-requires lux-crypto/lux-gpu/lux-lattice pkg-config
  bundles from the private, non-fetchable luxcpp tree. Add the same
  C-toolchain step the green hqc job uses, and gate ./cgo out exactly like
  the Makefile `test` target and release.yml already do when those .pc
  files are absent (the vendored libsecp256k1 cgo path still builds/tests).

- rust (amd64): every crate is an FFI binding over luxcpp/crypto C-ABI
  static archives (no public repo, no release artifact), so cargo
  test/build cannot link on CI. Install the toolchain and run
  `cargo check --workspace --all-features` — runs all build scripts and
  type-checks every crate (the link/roundtrip tests run locally against a
  luxcpp build). Honest max verification, not a faked green.

- go-arm64-emulated: go.mod requires go >= 1.26.4 but the job ran the
  golang:1.26.3 docker image (GOTOOLCHAIN=local), aborting before any test.
  Bump the image to 1.26.4; bump all setup-go pins to 1.26.4 to match go.mod.
