chore: remove `act` references
What changed, and why it matters
This commit removes leftover configuration that skipped certain GitHub Actions jobs when the workflow was run locally using a tool called 'act'. It is a routine cleanup with no effect on the security of the Bitcoin library code users actually run.
No security action needed. Reviewers may verify that CI still passes and that removing the `act` guards does not cause unintended job runs or resource usage in local testing setups.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The commit deletes if: ${{ !github.event.act }} guards from CI workflow jobs and removes the bitcoin/contrib/act/event.json fixture used by the nektos/act local GitHub Actions runner. These guards previously prevented fuzz and cross-compilation jobs from executing under act. Removing them only changes CI behavior, not the shipped Rust code, dependencies, or build outputs.
