ci: unique qdrant container name per run — parallel workflows on one host clash

Two concurrent jobs (docker-build + PR Checks on the same push) both
used container name 'qdrant'; the second job's 'docker rm -f qdrant'
destroyed the first job's Qdrant mid-run, so the test collection 404'd.
Name is now qdrant-${{ github.run_id }} everywhere (cleanup included).
