fix(ci): fix cx_Oracle build failure and Node.js warnings

- Add setuptools/wheel installation before requirements
- Make cx_Oracle installation optional (it's an optional dependency)
- Set FORCE_JAVASCRIPT_ACTIONS_TO_NODE24 at job level to eliminate warnings
- Add continue-on-error for dependency installation to handle optional deps gracefully
