fix(sop-tier-check): flip jq install to apt-get-first (infra#241 follow-up)

GitHub releases are unreachable from Gitea Actions runners on 5.78.80.188
— curl to github.com times out after ~3s instead of waiting for the
60s timeout. The previous GitHub-first / apt-get-fallback approach
always hit the timeout and never reached apt-get.

Changes:
- `.gitea/workflows/sop-tier-check.yml`: Install jq step now tries
  apt-get first, then GitHub binary as secondary fallback.
  Extended timeout to 120s for the GitHub download in case it
  is reachable on some runner networks.
- `.gitea/scripts/sop-tier-check.sh`: script-level fallback also
  uses apt-get first, then GitHub, then respects SOP_FAIL_OPEN=1
  (set in workflow step) to exit 0 so CI never blocks.

Combined with continue-on-error: true at step level and SOP_FAIL_OPEN=1,
this makes sop-tier-check CI resilient to any jq installation failure.
