refactor(firecracker): move gateway logic into the gateway service

Pull the gateway's host-side logic out of `infra_vm` and into
`FirecrackerGateway`'s own methods, so the gateway is self-contained and
`infra_vm` shrinks toward being just the pair coordinator (a step toward
removing it). Now living in the gateway service: the gateway VM boot +
`bb_orch` cmdline, the pre-minted JWT push, the mitmproxy CA fetch over SSH,
the `SshGatewayTransport` exec/cp, and the lifecycle predicates
(is_running/stop/address). `ensure_running` / `_adopt` construct the gateway
and call `connect_to_orchestrator` (lazy import to break the cycle); the
InfraEndpoint's gateway is now the `FirecrackerGateway` service.

What deliberately stays shared in `infra_vm` (documented at the top of
gateway.py): the plane-agnostic VM substrate the orchestrator VM also needs
(`_boot_vm`, the stable SSH keypair, the secret-push retry, PID lifecycle), the
pair coordinator (`ensure_running`: orchestrator-first health gate + singleton
lock + adoption/version marker), and the single shared `bb_role`-branched init
baked into the one published rootfs both VMs boot — the guest-side gateway
startup can't live in a host method. These are the seam that moves to a neutral
module when the Orchestrator service lands and `infra_vm` dissolves.

CA fetch now raises GatewayError (was die/SystemExit) to match the ABC.

"""The Firecracker gateway data plane as a microVM (PRD 0070).
`FirecrackerGateway` is the Firecracker implementation of the backend-neutral
`Gateway` service. The gateway here is a whole microVM — the slim data-plane
unit (mitmproxy TLS bump + DLP + git-http) booted on its own NAT'd link; agent
VMs' gateway-port traffic is DNAT'd to it and it never opens `bot-bottle.db`
(#469), so it holds no signing key, only the pre-minted `gateway` token the
host hands it via `connect_to_orchestrator`.
`Gateway` service, and owns the gateway's host-side logic directly: booting the
gateway microVM on its NAT'd link, seeding the pre-minted `gateway` token,
fetching the mitmproxy CA, and the SSH exec/cp provisioning transport. The
gateway VM never opens `bot-bottle.db` (#469), so it holds no signing key —
only the token the host hands it via `connect_to_orchestrator`.
The VM lifecycle primitives (boot, SSH secret push, netpool links, nft, PID
files) stay in `infra_vm`, which drives the orchestrator+gateway pair as a
singleton; this adapter composes them into the uniform `Gateway` surface.
What deliberately stays in `infra_vm` (not moved here): the plane-agnostic VM
substrate the orchestrator VM shares — booting a VM from the shared rootfs
(`_boot_vm`), the stable SSH keypair, the secret-push retry loop, and the PID
lifecycle — plus the pair coordinator (`ensure_running`: orchestrator-first
health gate, singleton lock, adoption/version marker). The guest-side gateway
daemon startup lives in the shared `bb_role=gateway` init branch baked into the
one published rootfs both VMs boot, so it can't live in a host-side method
either. These are the shared seam that moves to a neutral module when the
Orchestrator service lands and `infra_vm` is dissolved.
