ci: adopt shared reusable deploy workflow (deploy-app.yml)

Replaces the per-repo staging/smoke/production jobs with one call to
peptiderepo/peptide-e2e/.github/workflows/deploy-app.yml (target_path=wp-content/plugins/peptide-news-plugin).
Validated end-to-end on the calculator pilot.

If this PR modifies any of: (a) the admin settings surface (register_setting, add_submenu_page, add_options_page, settings field labels, option keys, types, defaults); (b) the file/class structure (any file added, renamed, split per the 300-line rule, or materially restructured); or (c) the data flow (new external API client, new hook/filter fired publicly, new scheduled job, or changed class responsibilities) — then the PR description MUST include a line referencing an accompanying update to `Peptide Repo CTO/app-maps/<repo-slug>.md`. The CTO workspace is a separate repo, so CI cannot verify the doc update mechanically — you must inspect the PR description for an explicit mention.
