fix(libcdb): ensure CI cache starts reliably

[bobo-xxx]

Root Cause

In nginx, the resolver directive only defers DNS resolution when variables are used in proxy_pass. With static hostnames (e.g., proxy_pass https://debuginfod.elfutils.org/;), nginx resolves the hostname at startup when creating its upstream blocks. If DNS is unavailable at startup time (e.g., Docker's embedded DNS at 127.0.0.11 isn't ready), nginx fails with:

nginx: [emerg] host not found in upstream "debuginfod.elfutils.org"

Fix

Convert all proxy_pass hostnames to nginx variables. When proxy_pass uses a variable, nginx resolves the hostname at request time using the configured resolver instead of at startup. This ensures the cache starts reliably regardless of DNS availability during container initialization.

Additionally, added valid=30s to the resolver to limit DNS caching time.

Testing

The fix was verified by confirming nginx config syntax is valid. The change is a pure nginx configuration fix with no code changes.

Fixes #2712

Pull request overview

This PR aims to make the libcdb CI nginx cache service start reliably by avoiding nginx startup-time DNS lookups for upstream hostnames (a known intermittent failure mode in Docker/network init).

Changes:

• Add valid=30s to the nginx resolver configuration to limit DNS caching duration.
• Convert static proxy_pass upstream hostnames to variables so nginx resolves them at request time instead of at startup.
• Update proxy_set_header Host to use the same hostname variables for consistency.

Thanks, I didn't know static hostnames are still resolved at parse time.

Copilot's review is right though.
