ci: Exclude feature_dbcrash.py under --v2transport --usecli
The test should now be passing, but it is slow.
For example, the commit that enabled the test, took ~47 minutes on a
fast CPU, but using a heavy debug build:

What changed, and why it matters
This change only adjusts Bitcoin Core's continuous integration (CI) test configuration. It tells the test runner to skip one specific test, feature_dbcrash.py, when running with certain command-line options because that test is extremely slow (about 47 minutes in one run). There is no code change that affects how Bitcoin nodes operate, and no security issue is present.
No security action needed. This is a normal CI optimization. Reviewers may want to confirm that feature_dbcrash.py is still exercised in another CI job without the slow debug-build combination.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The commit modifies ci/test/00_setup_env_native_alpine_musl.sh to add --exclude feature_dbcrash to TEST_RUNNER_EXTRA. The CI job runs extended functional tests with --v2transport --usecli in a heavy debug build. feature_dbcrash.py was recently enabled in this configuration but takes ~2806 s (~47 minutes), so it is being excluded to keep CI runtime reasonable. This is purely a CI/test-matrix tuning change.
