Fix depot_tools initialization by prepending PATH and bypassing root check

1. Prepend `depot_tools` to `PATH` instead of appending, ensuring correct tool precedence.
2. Set `export USER=builder` to bypass the `update_depot_tools` root check, allowing `gclient` to properly bootstrap `depot_tools` (downloading python, etc.) in the CI environment where it runs as root.
3. Remove the manual `ensure_bootstrap` call which was insufficient.
