Remove workflow YAML generation process #156

Description

@victorlin

Context

.github/workflows/pathogen-repo-ci.yaml is generated from .github/workflows/pathogen-repo-ci.yaml.in using devel/explode-yaml, and similarly for pathogen-repo-build.

# Explode YAML with anchors & references to YAML without them, using yq¹, for
# GitHub Action's sake².

# ² <https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/1182>

This doesn't work well with dependabot, which only edits the generated files (see d4cfac5).

Motivation

GitHub now supports YAML anchors (docs, September 2025 blog post).

Proposal

Remove the workflow YAML generation process added in edd3290.
