Subject: [PATCH] ci: rename "RELAY interop gate" step to name what it runs
 (INTEROP-07)

The step only drives `relay interop --protocol LIN` against RELAY's own
embedded LIN golden vectors -- self-consistency against RELAY's own
reference conversion, not third-party interoperability against an
independent LIN peer. Per SoundMatt/RELAY docs/INTEROP-ARCHITECTURE.md's
naming discipline, `*-interop` is reserved for a check against a peer this
repo did not build; a step invoking only RELAY's own CLI should say so.

Not previously flagged: the design doc's own current-state inventory only
called out rust-RCP and rust-LIN as naming violators (at the job level)
and missed this repo's step-level mislabeling entirely -- re-verified
directly against this repo's real ci.yml rather than trusting that
inventory. The enclosing job (`relay-conform`) was already correctly
named; only this one step's display name was misleading.

Pure rename, no behavior change: the underlying `run:` command is
unchanged. Manual duplicate-job-ID scan (9 job ids, 9 unique) since
`yaml.safe_load` alone can't be trusted to catch that class of bug.
Verified locally against the pinned relay v2.0.4 build this job installs:
built cpp-lin-cli from a clean cmake+ninja configure, then confirmed
`relay conform --strict` and `relay interop --protocol LIN` both still
PASS.

SoundMatt/RELAY THEME-K (#125), docs/INTEROP-ARCHITECTURE.md shipping
order item 2. Companion fix: SoundMatt/go-LIN#77.
