Subject: [PATCH] ci: init libfc-sensor-api submodule before building stub

The libfc-sensor-api submodule was not being initialized in CI,
causing the stub library build to fail silently. Use the existing
check_submodules.sh mechanism to ensure the submodule is fetched
before attempting to build, and add RESULT_VARIABLE checks so
cmake configuration and build failures are caught early.
