refactor(ci): customize cloud image on nested PVE instead of container

Move virt-customize to run on the nested PVE host (which already has
libguestfs) instead of inside the CI container. This removes
libguestfs-tools, linux-image-generic, and qemu-utils from the
Dockerfile, shrinking the image from ~1.2GB to ~770MB.

- prepare-test-vm.sh: downloads Debian cloud image on nested PVE,
  runs virt-customize there to install qemu-guest-agent, then creates
  VM with imported disk + cloud-init
- Remove build-test-image.sh (no longer needed)
- Remove /opt/pve-images volume mount

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Deploys the pre-built Alpine test image to a nested PVE instance and creates
# a VM with guest agent enabled. Waits for the guest agent to respond.
# Downloads a Debian cloud image, installs qemu-guest-agent via
# virt-customize (which is already available on the nested PVE host),
# creates a VM with the customized disk, and waits for the guest agent.
#
# The VM gets:
# - The Alpine cloud image imported as its boot disk
# - Cloud-init drive for initial configuration
# - Guest agent enabled (agent=1)
# - DHCP networking on vmbr0
# All heavy lifting happens on the nested PVE via SSH — no libguestfs
# or large dependencies needed in the CI container.
