ci: pull the courier CLI with the bare OCI protocol; crane:debug has no /bin/sh

Woodpecker's k8s backend runs every step through /bin/sh. crane:debug
carries only /busybox/sh, so the fetch-courier step died at container
init (pipeline 10). The release step now fetches the manifest by digest
from zot, tries each blob as a gzip tar for usr/local/bin/courier and
stops at the one that has it — busybox wget, tar and gzip, which
alpine/git has. Proven in that image before this push.
