Remove fork PR guards from CI workflows (#2092)

* Remove fork PR guards from CI workflows

Fork PRs are already gated by GitHub's "Require approval for outside
collaborators" setting. The workflow-level guards were redundant and
prevented WarpBuild jobs from running even after maintainer approval.

* Address review feedback: extend guard test, skip upload on fork PRs

- Guard test now covers build-ghosttykit.yml and ci-macos-compat.yml
  (not just ci.yml)
- Skip xcframework upload when GHOSTTY_RELEASE_TOKEN is unavailable
  (fork PRs), so the build still validates without failing at publish

* Check GHOSTTY_RELEASE_TOKEN at runtime instead of step if

secrets context can't be reliably used in step if: conditions.
Check the env var inside the script instead.
