ci: fix pypi publish on mac/windows/arm (#3449)

The python-v0.32.0 publish run failed on every build matrix entry. Three
independent issues:

1. **Mac and Windows**: `pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish` only runs on
Linux, but was being called inline from each build job.
2. **Linux (all arches)**: `pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish` derives its
docker image name from `github.action_repository`, which is empty when
the action is invoked from inside a composite action
(actions/runner#2473 — pypa's own `action.yml` references this bug). It
falls back to `github.repository`, generating
`docker://ghcr.io/lancedb/lancedb:<tag>`, which doesn't exist →
`denied`. Only the ARM matrix entry surfaced this because it failed
first and cancel-cascaded the rest.
3. **Windows**: `upload-artifact` in `build_windows_wheel` pointed at
`python\target\wheels`, but maturin writes to the workspace-root
`target/wheels`. The artifact was always empty. Also, `pypi-publish.yml`
passed a `vcpkg_token` input that the composite doesn't declare.

## Changes

- Build jobs (linux/mac/windows) now upload their wheels as
`actions/upload-artifact` artifacts.
- New Linux `publish` job downloads all wheel artifacts and runs the
Fury or PyPA publish step directly (not via a composite), so
`github.action_repository` resolves correctly.
- Delete the unused `upload_wheel` composite action.
- Drop the broken upload-artifact step inside `build_windows_wheel`.
- Remove the bogus `vcpkg_token` input.
- Fury upload now loops over all wheels instead of just the first.
- Bump `actions/checkout`, `actions/upload-artifact`,
`actions/download-artifact` to current major versions (Node 24) to clear
deprecation warnings.
- Bump Windows job timeout 60 → 90 minutes; previous run was
cancel-timing-out on a 60m cap.
- Use `rust-lld` as the Windows MSVC linker via
`CARGO_TARGET_X86_64_PC_WINDOWS_MSVC_LINKER`. `link.exe` is
single-threaded and the long pole on Windows builds.

Fixes #3445

## Test plan

- [x] Open this PR — `paths` filter triggers a dry-run build on all
three platforms.
- [x] Verify all three builds produce wheels.
- [x] Confirm the `pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish` container actually
starts (the actions/runner#2473 bug) via the `publish-dry-run` job
pointed at TestPyPI.
- [x] **REMOVE BEFORE MERGE**: drop the `publish-dry-run` job and the
now-redundant `actions/upload-artifact` runs on PRs (currently always-on
so the dry-run has wheels to publish).
- [ ] After merge, cherry-pick onto `python-v0.32.0` and force-push the
tag to re-trigger the publish.
