The #450 CA-persistence fix was only implemented for the docker backend
(the host_gateway_ca_dir bind-mount). The firecracker gateway booted with
no persistent volume, so its mitmproxy CA lived only in the ephemeral
per-boot rootfs — every rebuild/restart minted a fresh CA that every
already-running bottle distrusted, failing egress TLS with "SSL
certificate verification failed".

Give the gateway VM a persistent CA volume, mirroring the orchestrator's
registry volume: boot with a small ext4 data_drive (_ensure_ca_volume)
and mount it at mitmproxy's confdir in the gateway guest init, before the
data plane starts, so mitmproxy reuses the on-disk CA instead of
regenerating it.

Closes #510
