ci: remove the Tart VM runner choices

[teamleaderleo]

Summary

Nobody runs the Tart VM pool any more. test-e2e.yml still offered tart-canary, tart-dual and tart-small in its runner dropdown, and test-ios.yml offered tart-ios. Picking one of them queues for a runner that never arrives. A tart-canary run was also mistaken for evidence about the default pool in #14082: its Xcode version and paths differ, so it could never adopt main's DerivedData.

• Removes the four Tart dropdown choices and their five "Validate Tart … identity" steps (two in test-e2e.yml, three in test-ios.yml).
• Removes tart-canary from .github/actionlint.yaml and from the focused-test dispatcher's RUNNERS list. tests/test_run_e2e.py already asserts that this list matches the workflow's choices.
• tests/test_ci_self_hosted_guard.sh no longer requires the Tart choices and no longer exempts them. check_ios_tart_canary is gone. Any tart-* label in a runner position now fails the fleet guard, whose self-test already covers those labels.
• docs/ci-runners.md and docs/ci/mac-fleet.md drop the Tart pool section, the "restore the self-hosted pool" recipe, and the remaining pointers to it.

Only comments that record past behaviour still mention Tart (ci-macos.yml on node, setup-cmux-tui-rust, the recorder note in test-e2e.yml).

Testing

• Ran every command in ci-guards.yml, parsed from the YAML (133 commands). All pass except bun test/claude-environment.test.ts, which also fails on main (module path).
• tests/test_ci_e2e_compilation_cache.py sliced the guard script at check_ios_tart_canary(). It now slices at the next function, and the test passes.
• actionlint on the three edited workflows reports nothing new. Its one SC2129 note in test-ios.yml is also present on main.

Summary by cubic

Removes the unused Tart VM pool from CI. The runner dropdowns in test-e2e.yml and test-ios.yml still offered tart-* choices that queued for runners nobody operates, so selecting one never ran. A tart-canary run was also mistaken for evidence about the default pool because its Xcode and paths differ.

• Removes the four Tart dropdown choices and their five "Validate Tart identity" steps.
• Drops tart-canary from .github/actionlint.yaml and the focused-test dispatcher's RUNNERS list.
• The self-hosted guard no longer requires or exempts Tart choices, so any tart-* label in a runner position now fails it.
• Updates tests/test_ci_e2e_compilation_cache.py and tests/test_run_e2e.py to slice and reference non-Tart runners.
• Removes the Tart pool section and "restore the self-hosted pool" recipe from docs/ci-runners.md and docs/ci/mac-fleet.md.
• Updates the cmux-tui-artifacts.yml comment to reference a cloud label instead of a Tart one.

Started: an independent review of ba8eb90 is running (leftover references, YAML validity, tests that slice the guard or count steps). I'll post the result and any fixes here.

Review done on ba8eb90. No blocking findings.

• Nothing left in the repo that can break references the removed choices. The only remaining tart-* strings are the guard's own reject probes and three history comments.
• No live MACOS_RUNNER_* variable points at a tart-* label.
• Both workflows parse, and the neighbouring steps are intact.
• Every test that reads test-e2e.yml or test-ios.yml passes, 15 suites in all.

One cosmetic finding: four edited doc paragraphs were left unwrapped. a4f8ca0 rewraps them to about 80 columns. That commit touches prose only. Enabling auto-merge.

This was wrong. The Tart pool is live: tart-cmux-aws-m4pro-4-1 and tart-cmux-aws-m4pro-6-2 were running tart-canary and tart-ios jobs (runs 35945297331 and 35946198901) when this merged. The revert is #14106.
