Adds devenv as an installable tool, following the same pattern as nix. Downloads per-arch static tarballs from containerbase/devenv-prebuild releases (minVersion is 2.3.1).

Requires the containerbase/devenv-prebuild repo, see #6145. The build is already proven with the same tooling in containerbase/nix-prebuild#1089. CI here fails on the devenv download until that repo exists.

Unblocks renovatebot/renovate#40060.

Disable xtrace while exporting GITHUB_TOKEN.

If the secret file exists, set -x prints the expanded export command, including the token. Secret mounts do not prevent shell output. Replace set -ex with set -e.

@viceice, GitHub Actions masks configured secret values in its displayed logs.

However, set -x still sends the expanded token to the build output. The masking behavior is CI-specific. Removing x avoids emitting the token and does not change the test behavior.

@viceice, I reviewed #7425.

It addresses the existing nix flake update token handling. It also identifies the new devenv update stage as needing the shared helper. #7425 is still open, and it does not yet update testc.

The finding remains valid until testc uses with-github-token.sh or disables xtrace during the token export.

The same finding got fixed on main in #7425: the set -ex trace printed the expanded export NIX_CONFIG=..., so the token handling moved into a shared helper, test/nix/with-github-token.sh. It keeps set -ex and turns xtrace off only while reading the secret, then execs the wrapped command.

Please merge main and use it here too. From WORKDIR /test/devenv the helper sits one level up:

Suggested change
[ -f /run/secrets/GITHUB_TOKEN ] && export NIX_CONFIG="access-tokens = github.com=$(cat /run/secrets/GITHUB_TOKEN)"; \
devenv update; \
../with-github-token.sh devenv update; \

The set -ex above stays, because this RUN still chains two commands.
