chore(ci): Skip canary for SSR test

[Tobbe]

I don't think we actually used the canary build before because of a bug in our tooling. See #926

Now that canary: true works again, I'm switching to false here to speed things up – upgrading to canary takes time.

Greptile Summary

This PR changes the SSR smoke tests workflow to skip the canary upgrade step by setting canary: false instead of canary: true. This aligns the SSR smoke tests with other test workflows like background-jobs-e2e.yml and fragments-smoke-tests.yml, which also use canary: false.

Key changes:

• Disabled canary upgrade in .github/workflows/ssr-smoke-tests.yml
• Tests will now run against the local framework code instead of upgrading to the canary release first
• Reduces test execution time by skipping the yarn cedar upgrade -t canary step
• Makes SSR tests consistent with other smoke test workflows in the repository

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with no risk
• The change is a simple, single-line configuration update that aligns SSR smoke tests with other test workflows in the repository. It only affects CI test behavior by skipping an optional canary upgrade step. The change follows established patterns in the codebase and has no impact on production code or runtime behavior.
• No files require special attention
