refactor: read measurements from the local tree

The site compiles the index and the SQLite files from measurements/
instead of a pinned clone. The pin, the sync script, the CI clone steps,
the freshness area and its refresh handler are gone. core_probe --record
writes into measurements/ of the checkout by default, and a test fails
when a line or data file HEAD holds changed or vanished.
