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.
