IONOS(ci): build rc/** + */dev/* branches with restructured JFrog paths

Enables push-build for rc/** and */dev/* branches, triggers the remote
GitLab workflow for both, and routes their artifacts to nested JFrog
paths that include NC_VERSION and short SHA so every build is preserved.

JFrog layout (consolidated):

  | Branch/Event  | Path                                                               |
  |---------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
  | Pull Request  | pr/hidrive-next-pr-<n>.zip                                         |
  | ionos-dev     | dev/hidrive-next-<ver>/<sha>/hidrive-next-<ver>.zip                |
  | ionos-stable  | stable/hidrive-next-<ver>/<sha>/hidrive-next-<ver>.zip             |
  | rc/*          | rc/<branch>/hidrive-next-<ver>/<sha>/hidrive-next-<ver>.zip        |
  | */dev/*       | devs/<prefix>/hidrive-next-<ver>/<sha>/hidrive-next-<ver>.zip      |

Changes vs. previous behavior:
- PR uploads move from dev/pr/... to top-level pr/...
- */dev/* uploads change from dev-<prefix>/... to devs/<prefix>/...
  (folder instead of dash-suffix)

GitLab BUILD_TYPE (consumer-facing) keeps dev-<prefix> — it is a
separate naming contract from the JFrog path.
