The cmdlet calls the /cloudinit/dump endpoint which returns YAML
content, not a task UPID. This gets passed to WaitForTask causing a
501 error. PVE regenerates cloud-init automatically on VM start, so
the explicit regenerate call is not needed for test VM setup.
Bug to fix: RegenerateCloudInitImage should PUT to /cloudinit instead
of GET from /cloudinit/dump.

The Debian .qcow2 extension was rejected by PVE's download-url API.
Ubuntu's noble-server-cloudimg-amd64.img has a .img extension that
PVE accepts, and cloud-init + qemu-guest-agent work the same way.

Replace raw qm/SSH commands with module cmdlets where possible:
- Invoke-PveStorageDownload for cloud image download
- New-PveVm for VM creation
- Set-PveCloudInitConfig for cloud-init user/password/IP
- Invoke-PveCloudInitRegenerate to apply config
- Start-PveVm to boot the VM
SSH/SCP retained only for operations without API support:
- Snippet upload (no snippet API)
- pvesm set for snippets content type
- qm importdisk (no importdisk cmdlet)
- qm set for --scsi0, --cicustom, --agent, --boot (not in Set-PveVmConfig)

Replace virt-customize with a cloud-init custom user-data snippet that
installs qemu-guest-agent on first boot. The snippet is SCP'd to the
nested PVE's /var/lib/vz/snippets/ and referenced via --cicustom.
This eliminates the need for libguestfs-tools entirely — no install
on nested PVE, no extra Docker image, no large dependencies.
Timeout increased to 300s to allow for cloud-init package installation.

- prepare-test-vm.sh: install libguestfs-tools if not present on the
fresh nested PVE before running virt-customize
- Mask PVE_PASSWORD in logs via ::add-mask:: to prevent leaking

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

Infrastructure:
- build-test-image.sh: Downloads Alpine cloud image, uses virt-customize
to install qemu-guest-agent, caches at /opt/pve-images/
- prepare-test-vm.sh: SCPs image to nested PVE, creates VM via
qm importdisk with cloud-init and agent enabled, waits for agent
Workflow:
- Build Alpine image step (cached on runner, only built once)
- Deploy test VM step after provisioning, passes LINUX_VMID to tests
Tests:
- Guest Agent VM lifecycle: verify running, ACPI restart, ACPI stop
- Templates: convert Linux VM to template, clone from template
(New-PveTemplate, New-PveVmFromTemplate)
- Fix Get-PveTask: use .Upid property instead of whole PveTask object
