Subject: [PATCH] ci: enroll the core unit suites in a dedicated job

The existing workflow ran only the three plugin-harness suites; the
skin-system, font-manager, data-source, extractor, scroll-helper,
adaptive-layout, and loader-compat suites (266 tests) existed but never
ran in CI, so a refactor of src/base_classes or src/common could regress
them silently. Also enrolls the new sports characterization and
element-style suites landing in this branch.
