Josh Siviour 527308c342 fix(baremetal): empty modules.dep + capacity-aware single-node e2e (#305)
* feat(elbv2): localize internal-LB heartbeat failures for baremetal debug

Add diagnostics so a stuck-in-provisioning internal LB can be pinned to
one of three points on the heartbeat path:

- lb-agent failure log now carries the gateway target + region, so the
  microVM serial console shows whether the heartbeat hit a transport
  error (never reached AWSGW) or an HTTP-level rejection.
- AWSGW LBAgentHeartbeat logs receipt (debug) and warns on the
  previously-silent not-found/account-mismatch reject path, so the
  journal distinguishes 'heartbeat arrived but cannot transition' from
  'heartbeat never arrived'.

* test(e2e/lb): fail fast on stuck internal LB + probe fw_cfg on microvm boot

- lb suite: gate the remaining internal subtests on Internal_ALB. The
  internal LBs share one mgmt-return datapath and fixture, so if the
  first never reaches active the rest time out identically — skip them
  instead of burning ~5m per subtest (~20m saved on a known-bad run).
- microvm init.sh: widen the fw_cfg netcfg poll window and, on the
  not-available path, dump DMI / loaded modules / qemu_fw_cfg by_name
  listing / dmesg fw_cfg to the serial console before init exits, so a
  boot panic is diagnosable from the captured console log.

* fix(microvm): insmod fallback for fw_cfg + fail build on bad modules.dep

Baremetal-built microVM images shipped an unusable modules.dep (the build
host's depmod errors were swallowed), so busybox modprobe in the guest init
silently no-oped, qemu_fw_cfg never loaded, /sys/firmware/qemu_fw_cfg was
absent, init could not read opt/spinifex/netcfg, and the LB microVM panicked
before lb-agent ran — leaving internal LBs stuck in provisioning.

init.sh: load_mod() tries modprobe, then falls back to insmod by explicit
path (.ko/.ko.gz) which needs no modules.dep, so the guest boots regardless
of which host built the image.

build-microvm-image.sh: require depmod, drop the error swallow, and assert
modules.dep is non-empty after depmod so a boot-broken image fails the build
loudly instead of silently.

* fix(microvm): decompress kernel modules before depmod

Debian trixie's kmod 34 depmod silently emits an empty modules.dep when fed
Alpine's gzip-compressed (.ko.gz) modules — reproduced: 928 modules in, 0-byte
modules.dep out. The guest's busybox modprobe then no-ops, qemu_fw_cfg never
loads, and internal LB microVMs panic before lb-agent runs (stuck provisioning
on bare metal; GitHub-hosted runners ship a kmod that reads .gz, so normal CI
was unaffected).

Decompress kept modules to plain .ko after the keep-list strip, before depmod.
Host depmod then produces a usable map regardless of its gzip support, and the
guest loads modules without a decompressor.

* feat(e2e): capacity-aware scheduling for dense single-node runs

Denominate daemon schedulable capacity in physical cores instead of
logical threads, and auto-serialise e2e launches when the cluster is at
capacity, so a single hyperthreaded node stops over-packing guests.

Daemon: NewResourceManager sizes hostVCPU from physicalCoreCount()
(distinct physical-id:core-id pairs in /proc/cpuinfo) rather than
runtime.NumCPU(). Falls back to logical CPUs when topology is absent
(non-Linux, container, ARM cpuinfo without core id). On a hyperthreaded
box this halves the over-pack: with the unchanged 2 vCPU reserve the
i5-12600H schedules 10 vCPU (12 cores - 2) instead of 14, keeping the
boot-spike CPU within real cores.

Harness: capacityRetryEC2 decorates the EC2 client and, on
InsufficientInstanceCapacity, waits and retries RunInstances instead of
failing — turning the daemon admission gate into back-pressure so
concurrent subtests queue. AWSClient.EC2 is now the wrapped
ec2iface.EC2API; EC2Conf keeps the raw *ec2.EC2 for .Config access.

Adds unit tests for parsePhysicalCores (hyperthreaded/hybrid/dual-socket/
fallback) and the retry decorator (retry-then-succeed, non-capacity
passthrough, deadline).

* fix(daemon): SPINIFEX_HOST_VCPU override so small CI hosts can start

Denominating capacity by physical cores starves tiny hosts: a 2-physical-
core CI runner leaves 0 schedulable after the default 2-vCPU reserve, so
NewResourceManager refuses to start and every daemon-constructing unit test
fails. The previous runtime.NumCPU() count (4 logical on the same runner)
incidentally cleared the reserve floor.

Add a SPINIFEX_HOST_VCPU escape hatch (symmetric with the existing
SPINIFEX_RESERVED_* overrides) that pins the detected core count for hosts
whose /proc/cpuinfo topology misreports, and pin it to 4 in the daemon
TestMain so unit tests are deterministic regardless of runner topology.
Reserve stays at the default 2.
