Subject: [PATCH] Remove stale steps and conditions from CI workflows

- `conda-package.yml`: the upload job also allowed `release*` branches and tags, but the workflow triggers only on pushes to `master` and on PRs, so those branches never fire; the condition is now just a `master` push in `IntelPython/dpnp`.
- `conda-package.yml`: the Array API job ran `sudo apt-get install jq`, but `jq` comes preinstalled on the runner image (`jq is already the newest version (1.8.1-4ubuntu2)` on `ubuntu-26.04`). It also ran "List installed packages" and "Smoke test" a second time after `pip install -r requirements.txt`, which adds only test plugins (hypothesis, ndindex, pytest-json-report).
- `cron-run-tests.yaml`: the comment on the schedule was copied from the Scorecard workflow; this workflow tests the package of the latest tag nightly.
- `build-sphinx.yml`: drop the "Dump GitHub context" debug step, which printed the whole event payload on every docs run.
