feat(lambda): boot test-link invocations under Firecracker (#1648)

* feat(lambda): deliver guest configuration on a disk the agent erases

* feat(lambda): boot test-link attempts under Firecracker with a kernel hard kill

* fix(lambda): detect the configuration disk by its missing fw_cfg entry

* test(lambda): cover the configuration-disk seal from the agent and state in-package reasons

* fix(lambda): release a Firecracker attempt whose supervisor never started

 For each generation the executor creates ephemeral self-signed host and guest certificates whose single URI SAN is `spinifex-lambda://<Region>/<account>/<function ID>/<environment ID>/<generation>/<role>`, with role `host` or `guest`.
 Each end validates the peer certificate against the one pinned peer certificate and separately requires that URI SAN with the opposite role; hostname verification is not relied on.
 ALPN carries the L-GUEST major version, `spinifex-lambda-guest/1`, and an unsupported version fails the handshake. Builds with the `lambdatestlink` tag offer only `spinifex-lambda-testlink/2` on both host and guest, whose first frame carries the execution-role credential, so a test-link end and a release end fail the handshake; release builds are unchanged.
+In the same builds, the gateway reaches the host daemon on the local abstract socket `spinifex-lambda-testlink-control/3`, and each request carries the runtime-image digest the gateway was built with; the daemon refuses a missing or different digest before starting the attempt, and a gateway and daemon on different socket names never connect.
+On that socket a request's raw payload is at most 6 MiB, checked by the gateway before encoding and by the daemon after decoding.
+Its encoded frame is at most the base64 length of 6 MiB plus 64 KiB of metadata headroom and 64 bytes of field slack, and a receiver checks the frame length before allocating; metadata has no separate bound within the frame.
+The credential travels as its own frame of at most 8 KiB, and the reply has the same payload and frame bounds as the request.
+The daemon holds at most two connections at once, from accept to close, and leaves the rest unaccepted in the listen backlog.
 Under TLS 1.3 the guest's handshake can complete before the host refuses its certificate, so the guest treats the connection as accepted only after the host's first message.
+In the same builds, the function owner moves a created function with stored code from `Pending` to `Active` once this node's daemon serves the pinned image and the cluster configuration has exactly one node; a function with environment variables or a code copy over the test-link bound stays `Pending`, and `StateReason` names the unmet condition.
+Release builds never leave `Pending`.
+The Mulga deploy role installs a test-link build with `deploy_lambda_testlink=true`; this profile does not meet Q-199 fail-closed revocation, and its guests take management addresses whose record can expire (mulga-0hsub).

 The guest's own interface settings come from `opt/spinifex/netcfg`, the entry other system VMs use.
 The agent unloads `qemu_fw_cfg` even when an entry is missing, and refuses to start if the fw_cfg tree is still readable afterwards.
+On a VMM without fw_cfg (the test-link Firecracker executor), the executor attaches the same entries as a tar archive on the second, writable virtio-blk disk, laid out as `by_name/<entry>/raw`.
+The runtime image's init extracts it to a root-only tmpfs at `/spinifex-cfg`, and the agent reads the entries there, then overwrites the whole disk with zeros and removes the tree; it refuses to start if the tree is still present.
 Until the message format exists, the agent authenticates and holds the connection but accepts no host message and starts no user code.
