ci: simplify review apps to match historical 2020 pattern

The previous commit reinvented review apps with a bunch of new machinery
(PREVIEW_BASE_DOMAIN, stop_review job, auto_stop_in, on_stop wiring).
The existing infrastructure already has the `review` namespace, the
ingress, and the Cloudflare wildcard for *.pgai.green — review apps just
need to deploy `docs-<slug>` into the `review` namespace and the rest is
handled outside this repo.

This commit replaces the over-engineered version with the same minimal
shape that lived here before commit 43d434c (Oct 2020, "fix: remove
review CI"), adapted to the current TAG_VERSION/TAG_LATEST naming and
with the correct external URL (https://docs-<slug>.pgai.green).

Also drops the per-branch overwrite of the staging deployment by scoping
`build_and_push_staging` / `deploy_staging` to the `staging` branch
only — that bug is the actual reason previews stopped working: every dev
push was clobbering the shared staging Deployment instead of getting an
isolated review env.
