ScottW514 5bcc536853 forgetest: the lint's step parser keeps a step's real key column and reads a quoted key
workflow_steps rebuilt the first line of a step with its first key two
columns past the dash, whatever followed the dash. A step written with
more than one space after its dash (`-   run: ./build/tray_test`, its
`if: false` at the column of the run key) then had its first key at one
column and the others at another: every key after the first was read as
a child of the first and dropped, `if:`, `continue-on-error:`,
`working-directory:` and `with:` among them. So such a step under
`if: false` counted as running its host test, and such a checkout under
a condition counted as a checkout. _KEY_RX did not read a quoted key,
so a step's `"if": false` was dropped the same way. Both spellings are
valid YAML that GitHub skips or tolerates.

The parser now replaces the dash with a space and realigns nothing, so
the key column of a step is the column its keys use. _KEY_RX reads a
key in single or double quotes as the same key. The HOST_TESTED comment
states the rule the lint applies: no `if:` other than `true` and no
`continue-on-error:` other than `false` on the step or its job.

Proof: forgetest-ci "Unit tests" (`python -B -m unittest discover -s
tests -v` in forgetest): test_manifest.py runs 38 tests, OK, on Windows
with python 3.14 and on Ubuntu 24.04 with python 3.12, with
test_a_step_counts_only_when_every_run_of_the_workflow_runs_it_and_its_failure_fails_the_run
extended by a step with three spaces after its dash under `if: false`
and a step under a quoted `"if": false`, neither running the test.
Negative controls on scratch copies: the first line rebuilt as before
fails the three-space case; _KEY_RX as before fails the quoted case.
The 17 workflows of the tree's repositories (205 steps) parse to the
same steps and events before and after the change. 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
source_sha of 43 of 43 tests is unchanged); the lint runs in CI, not in
a campaign, and tests/ are in no fingerprint.
