Real bug surfaced by the first run: the workflow cloned the GitHub mirror into ./gh-mirror (inside the source checkout), and rsync ./ -> gh-mirror/ swept that directory back into the destination. The public mirror now has a stray gh-mirror/ subtree. Fix: clone into ${RUNNER_TEMP:-/tmp}/awc-gh-mirror instead, plus a belt-and-suspenders --exclude='gh-mirror/' rsync rule.

Merging this PR triggers the next sync, which (via rsync --delete) will also remove the stray directory from GitHub.

CI / check (pull_request) Successful in 7s

The sync workflow cloned the GitHub mirror into `./gh-mirror` (under the source
checkout), then rsync `./` -> `gh-mirror/` swept the `gh-mirror` directory back
into the destination, polluting the public mirror with a `gh-mirror/` subtree.

Clone to `${RUNNER_TEMP:-/tmp}/awc-gh-mirror` instead, and add a belt-and-suspenders
`--exclude='gh-mirror/'` so a future re-use of the old name can't recur. The next
sync will, via rsync --delete, also remove the polluted directory from GitHub.
