CI: add more output to apt-get commands, to try to determine source of random delays.
Sometimes this times out after 30 minutes.

What changed, and why it matters
This commit only changes a CI (continuous integration) setup script to add debugging output to package installation commands. It is not a security fix and does not change any production code, wallet logic, or network behavior. The change is purely operational: removing the quiet flag and adding apt debug flags to diagnose why CI builds sometimes hang.
No security action needed. This is a CI debugging change; review and merge through normal CI maintenance process.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The patch modifies .github/scripts/setup.sh to remove -qq (quiet) flags from apt-get update and apt-get install, and adds apt debug options (Debug::pkgProblemResolver, Debug::Acquire::http/https/gpgv). The stated goal is to diagnose 30-minute timeouts in CI. No cryptographic, networking, or consensus code is touched.
