Joseph Doherty 6803bab79a fix(TST-25,SEC): stop CI SSH key leaking in cleartext CI logs ...

The windows-x86 acceptance check 'no key material in logs' failed: run #37's
job log printed the full WINDEV_SSH_KEY PEM in the step env echo. Gitea's
secret masker is line-oriented, so a multiline PEM rendered as one line with
literal \n escapes never matches the real-newline secret value and is not
redacted.

Fix: store WINDEV_SSH_KEY base64-encoded (single line) so the masker redacts
it to ***; run-windev-ci.sh auto-decodes a base64 PEM (still accepts a raw PEM
for local hand-testing). Drop the redundant WINDEV_SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS from the job
env (host keys are public and come from the committed windev.known_hosts pin),
removing another cleartext env line. Document the base64 requirement in the
bring-up README.

Operationally: the previously-exposed CI key has been rotated on windev
(old pubkey revoked from administrators_authorized_keys, new key installed) and
the Gitea WINDEV_SSH_KEY secret replaced with the new key's base64.
