Subject: [PATCH] ci: prune unused sstate weekly

Nothing removes artifacts from the runner's SSTATE_DIR, so it grows without
bound. Delete sstate files not touched in 30 days. bitbake touches sstate files
whenever a build checks or unpacks them, so mtime tracks last use across all
branches.

DL_DIR is not pruned. Download stamps are only touched by do_fetch, which
sstate-restored recipes skip, so their age doesn't reflect whether a rebuild
would need them.
