fix(ci): build the wasm image directly instead of via the r-wasm reusable workflow

+# reason: that workflow's `rwasm::add_pkg()` call leaves `remotes = NA`, which
+# resolves rwasm's built-in list of webR package forks (`r-wasm/shiny@webr` and
+# friends) from GitHub with no PAT. In this repo that resolution fails, and an
+# older pkgdepends in the container reports it as an opaque

+# (`dependencies = FALSE`, matching the reusable workflow), so the fork
+# preferences are irrelevant here and `remotes = NULL` skips them. shinyreact's
+# own dependencies come from repo.r-wasm.org at runtime.
