joshsiv-mulga 63cb0db549 feat(lambda): seal the test-link timer library and bind the guest to its grant
Test-link (lambdatestlink) build only. Lambda stays publicly unregistered and
the normal guest agent stays fail-closed.

Timer library: the daemon reads the hard-kill initializer once, checks those
bytes against the pinned digest, copies them into a sealed memfd, verifies the
seals and re-hashes the sealed copy, then passes it to QEMU as an inherited fd
loaded through /proc/self/fd. The initializer closes that fd before it
acknowledges. A kernel that rejects MFD_EXEC, or a memfd_noexec policy that
refuses it, refuses the attempt; there is no fallback.

Guest binding: the daemon writes a test-grant fw_cfg entry with the owner's
grant ID, attempt ID, environment ID and generation, and the guest's scope now
comes from that grant. Before installing code or starting the bootstrap, the
guest refuses unless the grant names the authenticated environment generation,
the first frame carries that grant and attempt ID, and the frame deadline is
present and still ahead on the guest clock.

Limits:
- The digest is only as trustworthy as the build input that pins it; the memfd
  closes the swap window between check and load, it does not authenticate it.
- Not yet shown under the real spinifex-daemon systemd sandbox
  (MemoryDenyWriteExecute, ProtectProc) or with memfd_noexec set to 1 or 2.
- fw_cfg and the request frame both come from the executor, so matching them
  does not independently authenticate owner authority. This is not the M1
  decision.
- The guest clock check is a local guard only; it cannot detect clock skew or a
  delayed, superseded grant. The guest has no channel to the owner and checks
  the generation only on the first frame.
- Held attempts are still not recovered after a daemon restart.
