feat(actions): support $/ prefix in reusable workflow uses: (#38822)

Fixes: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/38818

Accepts GitHub's `$/` self-repository prefix in a reusable workflow
`uses:`, alongside `./`.

Gitea's `./` already resolves against the caller's own source repo and
commit, which is what `$/` means, so the two are aliases here. Cycle
detection folds both prefixes onto one key.
