ci: share compiled classes across jobs via artifact

Eight jobs (build + 6 test + coverage_report) were each running their
own ./gradlew compile chain on the same SHA, which is wasteful and was
also the proximate cause of the silent Coveralls failure: the
coverage_report job had no .class files at all because it never ran
compileJava, so JaCoCo emitted a report with only <sessioninfo> and
zero <package> entries, and coverallsJacoco short-circuited via its
"source file set empty, skipping" branch.

Compile once in the build job, upload **/build/classes/, generated/,
and resources/ as a "compiled-classes" artifact (1-day retention),
and download it in every dependent job before running tests or
coverageReportOnly. Test jobs still invoke ./gradlew test; gradle's
UP-TO-DATE check on the unchanged .java inputs picks up the restored
outputs and skips the compile tasks. The coverage_report job now has
real bytecode for JaCoCo to map exec data against, so the Coveralls
upload actually contains source-file coverage.

Verified locally that running coverageReportOnly with no .class files
produces a 750-byte XML with only <sessioninfo>, while running it
after compileJava (or with restored classes) produces a 1.1 MB XML
with 54 <package> entries — matching the difference between CI's
broken report and a healthy local one.
