Simone 567f9da619 feat(template): skip the nightly backup when the template hasn't changed
template backup ran a full multi-GB, multi-minute 7z pass over every
template every night regardless of whether anything under it had actually
changed -- the systemd unit's own comment already noted the resulting
archives were byte-identical run to run. Now compares the template dir's
newest file mtime against its most recent existing backup and skips the
compress step (still honoring --keep-count via prune) when nothing is
newer. --force opts back into an unconditional backup.

# This service runs as root (to restart act-runner.service via ExecStopPost),
# but the backups dir is shared with ci-web.service, which runs as ci-runner
# and offers a manual "backup template" action. Guarantee the dir exists owned
# by ci-runner *before* the root-owned backup writes into it, otherwise a first
# root run would create /var/lib/ci/backups as root:root and lock ci-runner
# (the web UI) out with errno=13. Idempotent; -o/-g re-assert ownership.
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/install -d -o ci-runner -g ci-runner -m 750 /var/lib/ci/backups
# --keep-count 1: three generations of Windows templates cost ~195 GB and the
# archives were byte-identical between runs (the templates rarely change), so
# the extra generations bought nothing. Since the archives were identical,
# `template backup` now also skips the 7z pass itself by default whenever the
# template directory has not changed since its last backup (no flag needed
# here; --force would opt back into an unconditional backup).
# --exclude WinBuildTest: retired test template, ~26 GB per generation.
ExecStart=/opt/ci/venv/bin/python -m ci_orchestrator template backup --all-templates --keep-count 1 --exclude WinBuildTest
# Safety net: bring act-runner.service back up on any exit path (success,
# failure, signal). The Python `finally` block can be skipped if the
# service is killed mid-run, and a runner left stopped by a killed
# backup would cause the next backup to skip the restart too.
