Build the Rust worker against the protoc that ships with the build (#10881)

* worker: compile plugin.proto with the protoc that ships with the build

seaweed-volume already does this: protoc-bin-vendored carries the binary, so
the build needs no package manager and every build sees the same version. An
explicit PROTOC still wins, which is what lets the lance crates - whose own
build scripts read the same variable - share it.

* ci: point the worker builds at the vendored protoc

The jobs installed protobuf-compiler for lance's build scripts. They read
PROTOC, so pointing it at the binary protoc-bin-vendored already puts in the
registry serves them without a system package - one less apt call on the way
to a release, and the same protoc a developer's build uses.

* docs: say what the worker build needs from protoc

The lance crates' build scripts are the ones that need it, not ours, and they
take the same vendored binary.
