Refactor: Centralize xUnit tests into reusable workflow and remove legacy verification by Copilot · Pull Request #26243 · PowerShell/PowerShell

- Add reusable workflow: .github/workflows/xunit-tests.yml
- Remove xUnit test step from build composite action
- Remove xUnit artifact upload from build composite action
- Delete verify_xunit composite action
- Update all workflows (linux-ci, windows-ci, macos-ci) to use new workflow_call job
- Remove -SkipFailing and continue-on-error usage from tests
- Ensure failures now fail CI directly

The build artifact contains psoptions.json in the build folder, but
Restore-PSOptions was looking for it in the repository root. Updated
to pass the correct path from the downloaded artifact.

Changed from using GitHub Actions context syntax ${{ runner.workspace }}
to PowerShell environment variable $env:RUNNER_WORKSPACE to ensure
proper path resolution within the PowerShell script block.

Per feedback, simplified the xUnit workflow to build PowerShell directly
using Start-PSBuild instead of downloading build artifacts. This:
- Eliminates dependency on ci_build job
- Makes xUnit tests truly independent and retriable
- Avoids complexity of artifact extraction
- Follows the established pattern used elsewhere

Removed Configuration 'Release', ReleaseTag, and -CI switch per feedback.
xUnit tests need Debug build (the default), and don't need Pester
(which is what -CI restores). Simplified to just Start-PSBuild -PSModuleRestore.

Simplified Start-PSBuild call to use all defaults:
- Debug configuration (default)
- PSModuleRestore (now default)
No parameters needed for standard xUnit test build.
