[CI] Inline env vars lost by CONTINUE_ON_FAILURE subshell wrapping

Postmerge/nightly/daily builds set CONTINUE_ON_FAILURE=1, which wraps each YAML command in `(cmd) || CI_OVERALL_STATUS=1`. A standalone `export VAR=val` executes inside the subshell and the variable is immediately lost — subsequent commands never see it. This caused real failures (model_executor fastsafetensors crash from missing VLLM_WORKER_MULTIPROC_METHOD=spawn) and silent coverage gaps (rust_frontend tests silently running the Python frontend because VLLM_USE_RUST_FRONTEND=1 was never set). Fix: inline env vars as command prefixes (`VAR=val command`) instead of standalone `export` lines across all 11 affected CI YAML files.
