Subject: [PATCH] Start Qdrant the way the runner can, not the way Linux can

The macOS runner has no Docker, so the step that proves the CLI binary died on
docker: command not found before it ran anything. This repository already knew
that: ci.yml's native-contract-macos job downloads the released Qdrant binary
for exactly this reason, and the release workflow was written without reusing
it.

Starting Qdrant is now its own step and picks by RUNNER_OS: the image on
Linux, the released aarch64-apple-darwin binary on macOS. Proving the binary
is a second step that assumes only a Qdrant on 6333.

The Linux job passed on the run that found this, which is what makes the fix
narrow: kdrant migrate created its target, copied both points, verified at
recall 1.0, took a snapshot and scrolled it back. The macOS binary is the one
most people will download onto a laptop, so proving it only on Linux would
have left the one that matters most unrun.
