Subject: [PATCH] Fix prepare-runner /root permission error on ubuntu-latest

The XRPLF/actions/prepare-runner action hardcodes /root/.ccache and
/root/.conan2 for Linux, assuming container execution as root. This
workflow runs natively on ubuntu-latest as the runner user.

Replace prepare-runner with inline apt-get install of ccache + ninja,
and use CMake compiler launchers for ccache instead. Keep all other
main CI patterns: pinned actions, get-nproc, env-based secrets,
CCACHE_SLOPPINESS, print-env step.
