Subject: [PATCH] [CI] Derive DEBUG_TEST and RUN_TESTS in the nightly job

The shared steps gate on both, but build-linux-nightly never set them, so its
coverage leg skipped "Build debug and test" and then failed collecting a report
from an empty build/ directory on every nightly and tag run. continue-on-error
kept the run green, so the coverage artifact silently never existed.

Derive both exactly as the pull request job does.
