CI / shellcheck + selftests (pull_request) Skipped
fix(hardlink): name the mutable set directly, under both build-dir layouts
`unshare_mutable_paths` selected `.fingerprint` and `build` directories. Under
Cargo's build-dir layout v2 the first clause matches nothing and the second
matches the whole tree, because v2 regroups artifacts under `build/` alongside
the metadata. Measured on one scratch crate: 39.3% of the tree real-copied
under v1, 99.996% under v2.

The selection now names the mutable set rather than the container it used to
live in: fingerprint directories under either spelling, layout v2's `run/`
directories, layout v1's loose build-script run metadata, and the `out`
directories that are a build script's OUT_DIR rather than a compile unit's
artifact directory. The two are told apart structurally, by Cargo's record of
the build-script execution sitting beside the OUT_DIR and nowhere else.

Verifying that turned up a second, layout-independent hazard: a linked
executable is written through whatever inode is already at its path, so a
`cargo test --no-run` inside a `cp -al` clone rewrites the source's own test
binary. Reproduced on cargo 1.93.1 stable, 1.96.0-nightly, 1.98.0-nightly and
1.100.0-nightly, under both layouts. Every executable is now real-copied;
`.rlib`, `.rmeta` and `incremental/` are what stay shared.

hardlink-clone-selftest.sh gains two file-only layout fixtures that pin the
partition in both directions without a compiler, and a live scenario that
relinks a test binary.
