fix(actions): keep runs order after auto refresh (#39479)

On a repository's Actions tab, runs are sorted newest first on initial
page load. After the first auto refresh (added in #38329, every 3
seconds while runs are active and every 12 seconds otherwise), the same
runs may appear in a different order and move again as their status
changes.

Example with four runs (Gitea 28.0.0, SQLite):

```
page load:     #10 success, #9 failure, #8 success, #7 running
after refresh: #8 success, #10 success, #9 failure, #7 running
```

To reproduce, open the Actions tab of a repository with runs in
different statuses and wait for an auto refresh. On SQLite, the runs may
be regrouped by status, with each group ordered oldest first.

`preparePartialRefreshRuns` reloads the runs currently shown on the page
using `GetRunsByRepoAndID`. That query has no `ORDER BY`, while the
initial page load uses `FindRunOptions.ToOrders` and sorts by index
descending.

With SQLite, the query planner used the `(repo_id, status)` index, so
the returned row order differed from the original page order. Since the
query has no explicit ordering, this behavior is database-dependent. I
have not tested MySQL or PostgreSQL.

This change orders `GetRunsByRepoAndID` by index descending, the same
order `FindRunOptions.ToOrders` uses for the initial page load. The
refresh only reloads the runs already on the page, so they come back in
the original order, with or without filters and on any page.

The other caller of `GetRunsByRepoAndID`, run approval, does not depend
on result ordering.

Testing:

- Added `TestPreparePartialRefreshRunsKeepsRequestedOrder`. Without the
fix, runs 794, 793, 792, 791 are returned as 791, 792, 794, 793; with
the fix, the test passes.
- `go test` passes for `./routers/web/repo/actions/`,
`./models/actions/` and `./services/actions/`.
- `go vet` and `golangci-lint v2.13.2` pass for the changed packages.
- Manually tested by building Gitea 28.0.0 with this patch and running
it on our SQLite instance. The runs list keeps its newest-first order
across auto refreshes. The official 28.0.0 binary reproduces the
reordering.
