feat(firecracker): port freeze/migrate off host Docker (PRD 0069 / #397)
lint / lint (push) Failing after 2m9s
test / unit (pull_request) Successful in 1m7s
test / integration (pull_request) Successful in 24s
test / coverage (pull_request) Successful in 1m22s

The last host-Docker dependency in the Firecracker launch path. Freeze
and resume no longer touch the docker daemon, so the backend needs
firecracker + KVM only — completing #348.

Freeze: stream the guest rootfs over SSH straight into a persistent
committed-rootfs.tar (the resumable/migratable artifact) instead of
round-tripping through `docker build` from a scratch image. Written to
a .partial sibling and atomically renamed so a failed freeze leaves no
truncated artifact.

Resume: extract the snapshot tar into a cached base dir and feed it to
the existing rootless `mke2fs -d` pipeline, replacing the
`docker create` + `docker export | tar` path. Recreate the
proc/sys/dev/run mount points the freezer excludes so the guest init
can mount them.

`util.build_base_rootfs_dir` / `docker_image_id` stay — they still back
the opt-in BOT_BOTTLE_INFRA_BUILD=local dev path and off-host
publish_infra, which are out of scope.

"""FirecrackerFreezer — snapshot a running microVM to a rootfs tar.
The VM is live and can't be block-copied safely, so — like the macOS
backend — we stream the guest root filesystem out over the control

running after the snapshot.

tar *is* the resumable artifact. `resume` extracts it and rebuilds a
fresh per-bottle ext4 with `mke2fs -d` (see `util.build_committed_rootfs_dir`
