Caches need only be different for each platform, not for each OS version and architecture (since they should be source-only).

Pull request overview
Updates the GitHub Actions caching strategy in hosted_runners.yml to reduce cache fragmentation by keying git submodule caches by platform + submodule state (hash) and keying downloads caches by platform, while restricting cache writes to the default branch.
Changes:
- Removed the
SUBMODULE_CACHE_VERSIONenv and replaced submodule cache keys withrunner.os+ a computed SHA-256 hash ofgit submodule status --recursive. - Split cache usage into explicit restore vs. save steps, and gated cache saves to the repository default branch.
- Simplified downloads cache keys/restore keys to be platform-scoped (via
runner.os).
