fix(ci): replace continue-on-error with conditional step execution (#172)

Remove all continue-on-error usages from CI workflows:
- deploy.yml: replace continue-on-error on SSH deploy steps with
  if: secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY != '' so steps are skipped (not failed)
  when the secret is absent
- windows-nightly.yml: remove continue-on-error from job and steps
  (job is already disabled via if: false)
