Fix job-container docker access via a shared unix socket, not TCP

The previous fix (docker_host: tcp://dind:2375) was wrong: act_runner
never passes DOCKER_HOST into job containers as an env var. It always
bind-mounts container.docker_host (read from ITS OWN filesystem) into
every job container as /var/run/docker.sock, and only recognizes
unix:// (or bare) paths -- a tcp:// value is silently treated as
unknown and falls back to a /var/run/docker.sock that doesn't exist in
the runner container, which is exactly the "no such file or directory"
error.

Expose dind's daemon over an additional unix socket on a volume shared
with the runner (dind-sock), and point docker_host at that shared path
so the bind-mount act_runner performs actually resolves to dind's real
socket. Verified by replicating act_runner's exact bind-mount pattern
against the running stack: `docker -H tcp://dind:2375 run -v
/dind-sock/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ...` successfully ran
`docker info` and `docker build` inside a nested container.
