Switches this extension's EPV (Extension Pre Validator) check to the organization's strict EPV workflow, phpbbmodders/.github/.github/workflows/epv.yml@v1 (phpbbmodders/.github#2), as piloted in phpbbmodders/contactadmin#46.

Why

  • EPV exits 0 unless it finds a Fatal problem, so its Error findings never failed this workflow.
  • Pointing EPV at the extension folder made it report a false "Packaging structure" error. The shared workflow points it at phpBB/ext/ instead.
  • The shared workflow fails on any Fatal or Error finding that isn't listed, with a reason, in the extension's .github/epv-allowed.txt.

Changes

  • tests.yml: the "Setup EPV" and "Run EPV" steps and the EPV setting are removed from the basic-checks job; its other checks and its check names are unchanged.
  • New epv job calling the shared workflow for phpBB 3.3.x.

Testing

Claude ran EPV (phpbb/epv dev-master) locally on this extension's default branch, pointed at the folder containing rmcgirr83/separateusersandbots. It reports no Fatal or Error findings, so this extension needs no .github/epv-allowed.txt. The converted workflow parses, has the epv job, and no longer runs EPV the old way. This PR's CI is the first run of the new job here.

EPV exits 0 on Error findings, so they never failed this workflow, and
pointing it at the extension folder gave a false "Packaging structure"
error. EPV now runs in an epv job that calls phpbbmodders/.github's
reusable EPV workflow (v1), which fails on any Fatal or Error finding not
listed in .github/epv-allowed.txt. This extension has none.
