fix: refresh APT lists on all runners, not just nektos/act

Browse source 
Stale/empty apt lists on custom runner images (e.g. runs-on AMIs) make
apt-cache misreport real packages like ghostscript as purely virtual,
sending normalization down the 'Reverse Provides:' path and producing a
bogus package name. Run the staleness-gated update on every runner.
