fix(chapel-ci): swap --no-codegen typecheck for real-link build

chpl 2.3.0 (.deb install) fails on `--no-codegen` with

  error: Could not find bundled module 'ChapelSysCTypes'
  note: Missing ChapelSysCTypes indicates an incomplete build

This appears to be a Chapel 2.3.0-deb-specific issue: the gen/-subdir
target-tuple probe isn't invoked under `--no-codegen`, so chpl looks
for `ChapelSysCTypes.chpl` at a path that doesn't match the
`linux64-x86_64-llvm` layout the .deb actually ships.

Replace the per-module typecheck loop with a single real build of the
smoke target.  This:
- exercises the same chapel-2.x typechecker (so a broken module is
  still caught at PR time),
- skips the `--no-codegen` path that triggers the bug,
- additionally proves the binding actually links against
  libproven.so (which is what we care about anyway),
- reduces the chapel-build job runtime (one chpl invocation
  instead of 11).

The smoke + tests jobs already exercise full chpl builds and remain
unchanged; this is purely a chapel-build job adjustment.
