ci: raise the multi-arch Docker publish timeout to 120 minutes (#13114)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Docker workflow publishes the server images that all deployments
pull, including the `sha-*` images that downstream consumers deploy
> - The `build-and-push` job builds for linux/amd64 and QEMU-emulated
linux/arm64, and that build now takes more than its 60 minute job
timeout
> - Every run dies at the timeout, and each doomed hour-long run holds
the per-ref concurrency slot, so queued master pushes supersede each
other and no image publishes at all
> - This pull request raises the multi-arch job timeout to 120 minutes
> - The benefit is that image publishing works again, with headroom for
the build to grow

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #12821 replaces the QEMU-emulated arm64 build with native
runners — that is the durable fix for the build duration itself. This PR
is the immediate unblock so images publish again while #12821 lands.

No existing issue for the outage. Description follows the bug report
template:

**What happened?**

The `docker.yml` `build-and-push` job hits its 60 minute
`timeout-minutes` cap on every run. The last fully successful
`docker.yml` run was September 2. Since then almost every run ends
`cancelled`: the multi-arch build is killed at the timeout, and runs
queued behind it are superseded by newer master pushes before they can
start. The amd64-only `build-and-push-cloud` job often still succeeds
inside those cancelled runs, which masked the breakage.

**Expected behavior**

Every master push and canary tag dispatch publishes its `sha-*`
production and cloud images, and the `promote_canary_channel` job runs.

**Steps to reproduce**

Look at the runs of the Docker workflow on master: `gh run list
--workflow docker.yml --branch master`. Nearly every run since September
5 ends `cancelled` or `failure`. Open a cancelled run: the
`build-and-push` job runs for 61+ minutes and its "Build and push" step
ends `cancelled` at the job timeout. The last runs that succeeded
(September 2) took 39 to 54 minutes for the same job.

## What Changed

- Raise `timeout-minutes` on the `build-and-push` job from 60 to 120,
with a comment that explains why. The amd64-only `build-and-push-cloud`
job keeps its 60 minute cap.

## Verification

- `actionlint .github/workflows/docker.yml` reports no issues in this
change (only pre-existing info-level shellcheck notes in untouched
steps).
- Compared job durations across the last successful runs (39-54 minutes)
and the recent timeout kills (61+ minutes) to confirm the cap is the
failure cause.
- After merge, the next master push should produce a `docker.yml` run
that completes with both build jobs green.

## Risks

Low risk. The change only gives the existing build more time. A
genuinely hung build now occupies a runner for up to 120 minutes instead
of 60. The slow arm64 emulated build itself is worth a separate look
(native arm runners or splitting the platforms), but that is a larger
change than this outage fix.
