ci(owasp): cap job timeout and disable NVD auto-update in check step (#1807)

* ci(owasp): cap job timeout and disable NVD auto-update in check step

The OWASP job intermittently failed with no reason other than timeouts.
Root cause is the unreliable NIST NVD feed (see dependency-check#8633):
keyless NVD downloads are heavily rate-limited and stall.

Two fixes:
- Add timeout-minutes: 30 so a hung NVD download fails fast instead of
  dragging to the 6h GitHub Actions default.
- Add -DautoUpdate=false to the check step so it reads only the cache
  populated by the preceding update-only step. Previously the check step
  carried neither the mirror datafeed URL nor the API key, so on any cache
  staleness/miss it synced directly against NIST - the unreliable path.

* ci(owasp): fall back to NVD mirror when the API update fails

The NIST NVD API is unreliable even with an API key (retries exhausted,
see dependency-check#8633). Previously the mirror datafeed was used only
when no API key was present, so apache/struts always took the flaky API
path and never the mirror.

Make the API update step continue-on-error and run the mirror update as a
fallback when the API step fails (or when no API key is configured).
