Goal: stop slow but healthy image builds from timing out.

Recomputer-rk3576 KDE on x86 runner stpete-15 hit the 45 min step cap during OTA packaging. The same board's GNOME image took 14 min on ampere-01.

Time on x86 goes to qemu (headers 11 min, DKMS 7 min, initramfs 5 min) and single-threaded OTA gzip (5 min).

Change: image step 45 → 60 min, job 75 → 90 min.

Related: Seeed-Studio/seeed_armbian_extension#14 (pigz for OTA archives).

The rk3576 KDE image needs about 50 min on x86 runners: qemu chroot
work plus single-threaded OTA gzip. The 45 min cap killed it during
OTA packaging. Raise the job cap to 90 min to keep the upload tail.
