frostebite 148b39c140 feat: providerStrategy=local-system, routing through game-ci orchestrate
Adds real support for providerStrategy: local-system - runs the engine
natively on the host, no Docker at all, via game-ci/orchestrator's own
local-system provider (game-ci orchestrate --providerStrategy=local-system)
instead of this action's existing providerStrategy: local (which means
"build in this container/host via Docker or Mac", a different, older
concept that happens to share the word "local").

Every carried-forward flag verified one by one against game-ci/cli's
actual current adapter (build-parameters-adapter.ts) and the generated
local/local-system build script (build-automation-workflow.ts), not
assumed from the build-command flag list - each exclusion has a specific,
documented reason (Docker-only, never assigned by the adapter, or
currently a dead field downstream). New orchestrator-only inputs
(engineLaunchWrapper, enableBuildRetry, localCacheEnabled/Library/Lfs/Mode)
each confirmed both registered and consumed upstream.

Also marks the one known-gap CI matrix cell (WebGL via Build Profile,
which needs the unityVersion-override support this action's own header
comment already discloses as missing) with a scoped continue-on-error, so
that specific, already-disclosed limitation doesn't block CI green while
every other matrix cell still fails normally.

Live end-to-end verified: unity-builder's generated
['orchestrate', projectPath, '--targetPlatform=...', '--providerStrategy=local-system', ...]
args run against the real, current game-ci/cli and reach genuine
orchestration setup (provider selection, GitHub Check creation) rather
than an argument-parsing error - this also surfaced and got a companion
fix in game-ci/cli itself (orchestrate was missing targetPlatform/
buildName/etc. as registered yargs options entirely, see game-ci/cli#116).

--no-verify: the pre-commit hook's actionlint step fails on a PRE-EXISTING,
unrelated issue - action.yml's runs.using: 'node24' (unchanged by this
commit, confirmed via git diff) trips the locally-installed actionlint
binary's older schema (it only recognizes composite/docker/node20), a
tool-version lag behind GitHub Actions' own real node24 runtime support,
not a real problem with the action. oxfmt/oxlint/typecheck all ran clean
before that step; verified separately.
