fix(ci): Bun-first runtime policy; retire two gates that enforced the opposite (#298)

Authority: `standards/LANGUAGE-POLICY.adoc` §1 — **Bun > Deno > pnpm >
npm**.

**Replaced `npm-bun-blocker.yml` → `runtime-policy.yml`.** The old gate
failed any build carrying `bun.lockb` with *"Use Deno instead"* —
blocking the new first choice and mandating the second. It was in **55
repos**, and **zero repos had adopted Bun**, because doing so would have
turned them red.

The replacement fails on something real — **mixed toolchains** (two
package managers' lockfiles, i.e. two dependency graphs that can
disagree) — and reports the tier in use otherwise. npm is tier 4 but
permitted, so it warns rather than blocks. **Red-teamed both ways:**
none/bun/deno/npm alone → exit 0; bun+npm and deno+pnpm → exit 1.

**Deleted `ts-blocker.yml`.** It enforced *"use ReScript instead"* —
ReScript is itself retired — and it **could not fail**: `git diff
HEAD~1` on a depth-1 checkout, error to `/dev/null`, `|| true`. **20/20
runs green, never once fired.**

Neither is a required status check anywhere, so this creates no phantom
context.

+# REPLACES npm-bun-blocker.yml, which failed any build carrying `bun.lockb` with
+# the message "npm/bun artifacts detected. Use Deno instead." That gate blocked
+# what is now the FIRST-choice runtime and mandated the second. It was present in
+# 55 repositories.
+#
+# What this fails on, deliberately:
+#   MIXED TOOLCHAINS -- two different package managers' lockfiles in one repo.
+#   That is real, actionable drift: two dependency graphs that can disagree.
+# What it does NOT fail on:
+#   Using bun, deno, pnpm or npm. npm is LAST but PERMITTED; the check reports
+#   the tier in use so drift is visible without blocking legitimate work.
