Message:

Build/Test Tools: Allow the PHPUnit runner to be set by a repository variable.

Change runs-on in the reusable PHPUnit workflow to ${{ vars.PHPUNIT_RUNNER || inputs.os }}. With the variable unset (the default), jobs run exactly as before.

When a maintainer sets PHPUNIT_RUNNER to a runner label, the PHPUnit matrices run on that runner instead—useful for directing them to a dedicated runner during high-load release windows, without editing the workflow.

No input is added or made required, so every branch that calls this workflow at @trunk stays compatible.

Props barry.
Fixes #65749.
