ci(sea): run SEA e2e under nyc so ts-node/register loads .ts (fix ESM-loader race)

Bare `mocha` has no ts-node registration, so it loaded the .ts specs via the ESM
dynamic-import path and crashed with ERR_INTERNAL_ASSERTION (... not yet fully
loaded ... Promise.all) before any test ran. main.yml's e2e job avoids this by
running `nyc mocha` — nyc.config.js's `require: ['ts-node/register']` installs the
CommonJS ts-node hook, loading specs synchronously. Mirror that: invoke
`nyc ... mocha --config tests/e2e/.mocharc.js <glob>`, keeping the glob at argv
index 4 (the mocharc derives spec from process.argv.slice(4)).

Everything else in the pipeline is now confirmed green: App-token + private-kernel
checkout, ~/.npm cache, npm ci, build:native, the KERNEL_REV contract-drift assert,
and the binding smoke-check. This was the last failing step.
