Make the Outdated phase revision-aware

An EphemeralRunner that exits as Outdated marks its EphemeralRunnerSet
Outdated, and the AutoscalingRunnerSet then stops scaling it. Without a way
to tell which runner spec an Outdated report refers to, a report from a
runner built before the spec was updated keeps the set switched off after
the update that was supposed to fix it.

Stamp each runner with the actionable revision it was built from, and judge
Outdated reports against the revision the set has applied:

  - A runner whose revision is older than the applied one is reporting on a
    spec that has already been replaced. It is deleted and rebuilt from the
    current spec, and it does not hold the set Outdated.
  - A runner whose revision is current is reporting on the live spec, so the
    set stays Outdated. It is deliberately not delete-and-replaced: a fresh
    runner at the same revision would report Outdated again, forever.

Runners without the annotation parse to revision 0, which matches the zero
value of Status.AppliedActionableRevision, so existing runners keep their
current behaviour across an upgrade.

The phase is derived inside patchAppliedActionableRevisionStatus, from a
list read through the same authoritative reader as the set itself, because
the optimistic lock on that patch covers the EphemeralRunnerSet object only
and cannot vouch for a separately-read list. The runners are classified
against the live applied revision rather than the revision this call was
asked to apply: the caller reads the spec from the cache while this function
re-reads the status from the API server, so a lagging reconcile can arrive
with a target behind the live marker, and judging against it would flip a
set that has already moved on back to Outdated.
