Eval: keep def-mutex_lock path-level so it holds on every kernel version

The v1.4.0 strengthening (top_path + resolved_via) broke the case on
pinned v6.16, where GNU Global's parser does NOT derail (__acquires
annotations arrived later): the definition is indexed natively, no
recovery fires, and the header macro ranks first alphabetically. The
golden set's design rule is that expectations hold across kernel
versions — restore the path-only expectation (passes natively on old
kernels, via export recovery on new ones) and leave the recovery
mechanism asserted deterministically by tests/test_server.py's
export_gap_project suite.

Also switch CI to universal-ctags (was exuberant-ctags): enrichment
and export recovery need Universal Ctags +json, so CI now runs the
ctags-dependent tests and matches the local toolchain.

 One case (`def-mutex_lock`) was a deliberate known-fail from v1.0.0 through
 v1.3.1: recent kernels added sparse `__acquires()` annotations to mutex
 forward declarations, and GNU Global's C parser derails on them, missing the
 real `mutex_lock` definition. v1.4.0 closes it with **ctags export
-recovery** (see "What resolves"), and the case now also asserts the recovery
-mechanism itself.
