feat(ci): wire var-go/oath gate into CI (#1)

Adds an oath job to cd.yml: on pull_request, checks out swedsl (the
vargo-gate source — its oath submodule isn't go-installable, module
path isn't a real import path) and runs cmd/vargo-gate against this
repo's linked issue, posting a var-go/oath commit status.

Deliberately NOT required by branch protection: vargo-gate's candidate
is still a hardcoded toy self-test registry (swedsl's own #9 fixture),
not a real PR-diff checker, so it fails closed against any real oath
until swedsl ships an Executor (swedsl#27). Requiring it now would
permanently block every cad-atlas PR. Disclosed in the CI config
comment, PROJECT.md, and docs/INCEPTION-OATH.md (honest-stub
discipline).
