ci: Add debug-tmt.yml workflow to investigate TMT verbosity

Creating a minimal workflow to debug why TMT outputs DEBUG-level logs
in GitHub Actions CI but not locally. This workflow:

- Installs tmt the same way as ci.yml
- Checks environment variables for TMT/DEBUG/RUNNER/ACTIONS
- Tests TMT with various verbosity settings
- Provides interactive debug session via action-upterm

Temporarily disabled ci.yml to avoid interference during debugging.
