Subject: [PATCH] fix(actions): make `cancelled()` work in job `if` evaluation
 (#38495)

Fix #38485

#37478 moved `if` evaluation from runner to server. But `NewInterpeter`
always provides a nil `JobContext` for the evaluator, which makes
[`cancelled()`](https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/src/commit/ad967330a8788c9b8ab723abbc1a86d53c3bc5e6/act/exprparser/functions.go#L299)
panic on `Job.Status` because `Job` is a nil pointer.
