Subject: [PATCH] ci: stop depending on node, and install cmake where the build
 needs it
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Read from the job logs of the first run with the arm64 job, rather than
guessed:

- The x86 `test` job has been failing on every push, in about three
  seconds. It runs in `rust:latest` and starts with actions/checkout, a
  JavaScript action, and `rust:latest` has no `node`: exit 127 before a
  line of code was built. It is replaced with a plain git checkout (the
  image has git), and actions/cache, JavaScript for the same reason, is
  dropped.
- `test-arm64` got through checkout, toolchain, the aarch64 check and
  clippy, then failed building libz-ng-sys — pulled in by
  clawhdf5-format's default `fast-deflate` — because the host runner had
  no cmake. The x86 image lacks it too, so the x86 job would have hit the
  same wall one step later.

Both jobs now install cmake where they can (the Docker job and the x86
container run as root) and say plainly when they cannot (a host runner),
instead of failing inside a build script. vision-01 now has cmake.
