ScottW514 4d8f0d2e67 forgetest: the lint counts a host test as run only by a step every run of the workflow runs, on push or pull request
A HOST_TESTED row names a workflow and a host test, and the coverage
lint judges the row by what the workflow's steps run. The parser stored
a step's `if:` and `continue-on-error:` and read neither, read no job
key, and read no `on:`. So a step under `if: false`, a step whose
failure the run tolerates, a job under an `if:`, and a workflow on
`workflow_dispatch` alone all counted as running the test, and a
checkout under a condition counted as a checkout: a disabled or
tolerated host test keeps its row green and its paths covered.

The lint now reads the workflow's events and the conditions of a step
and of its job. `workflow_triggers` returns the events of the `on:`
mapping, list or scalar. What is under an event (its branches, its
paths, a dispatch's inputs) is not an event, and a flow mapping names
none. A row's workflow must run on push or pull_request, or the lint
reports that it runs on no push or pull request: a dispatch or a
schedule alone runs on no change, and a call alone is listed as well,
since the lint does not follow it to its caller. `workflow_steps`
tracks the job
each step is in and carries the job's `if:` and `continue-on-error:`
on the step as `job`. `_on_every_run` counts a step only when neither
it nor its job carries an `if:` other than the literal `true` or a
`continue-on-error:` other than the literal `false`. `workflow_runs`
and `checkout_path` use it, so a conditional step runs nothing and a
conditional checkout is no checkout. The reason for such a step stays
"does not run it". `needs:` is not read, nor are the `paths:` and
`branches:` filters of an event: the lint stays a floor there.

Proof: forgetest-ci "Unit tests" (`python -B -m unittest discover -s
tests -v` in forgetest): test_manifest.py runs 36 tests, OK, with the
two new cases, test_a_step_counts_only_when_every_run_of_the_workflow_runs_it_and_its_failure_fails_the_run
and test_the_events_a_workflow_runs_on, and with
test_the_workflow_has_to_run_the_host_test extended by a dispatch-only
workflow and a tolerated step. Negative controls on scratch copies:
`_on_every_run` forced to return True fails the step case and the
host-test case (failures=2); the trigger check deleted from
host_row_problems fails the host-test case (failures=1). The coverage
lint on the tree manifest from the recipe pins reports 0 uncovered
paths, 0 host-tested row problems, 43 tests. pyflakes reports no
undefined name.

Acceptance: none. forgetest is dev-only and in no fingerprint; the
lint runs in CI, not in a campaign.
