fix: push-first strategy in build_image to avoid losing latest tag
The push_image function deleted the existing manifest before pushing
(Gitea #31964 workaround). When push failed for other reasons (HTTP
500), the old tag was lost, breaking all CI jobs using that image.

Now tries push first, only deletes+retries on "already exists" error.

Closes DEVX-159

# DEVX-159: Fix build_image push-first strategy to avoid losing latest tag
## Problem
The `push_image` function in `build_image.py` deletes the existing
manifest *before* pushing (Gitea #31964 workaround). When the push
fails for other reasons (HTTP 500), the old tag is lost, breaking all
CI jobs that use that image.
This caused `ci-base:latest` to disappear from the registry when
build-images run #4104 failed with HTTP 500 on push, after already
deleting the old `latest` manifest.
## Approach
Switch to a push-first strategy:
1. Try pushing directly
2. Only if push fails with "already exists" (Gitea #31964), delete
the old manifest and retry
3. If push fails for any other reason, the old manifest is preserved
REQ-1: Push first, no pre-emptive delete
REQ-2: Delete + retry only on "already exists" error
REQ-3: Old manifest preserved on non-already-exists failures
REQ-4: 100% test coverage of new logic
## Test Plan
- Unit tests for all push paths (success, already-exists retry,
non-already-exists failure, retry-also-fails)
- Verify existing tests still pass
## Deploy Plan
- Merge to master, build-images workflow uses new push logic on next
image rebuild
## Rollback Plan
- Revert the merge commit
## Acceptance Criteria
- [x] REQ-1: Push first, no pre-emptive delete
- [x] REQ-2: Delete + retry only on "already exists" error
- [x] REQ-3: Old manifest preserved on non-already-exists failures
- [x] REQ-4: 100% test coverage of new logic
