fix: deploy via tar+scp+ssh (avoids scp hidden-file glob issue)

Root cause of 'Copy .next to VPS' failure: appleboy/scp-action with
source '.next/*' doesn't handle hidden files inside .next/. Using a tarball
instead: tar.gz preserves all files including hidden ones, and scp transfers
a single file.
