feat(backend): add teardown() to the contract; backend teardown

Add an abstract teardown() classmethod to BottleBackend — the inverse of
setup(), surfaced as `./cli.py backend teardown [--backend=NAME]`
(uninstall). Symmetric with setup: it prints the privileged commands /
declarative config change to remove the host prerequisites.

- firecracker: NixOS-aware — disable the flake module (or drop the
  import) and rebuild, or `firecracker-netpool.sh down` imperatively.
- docker / macos-container: nothing to undo (no privileged host state);
  print a short note.

Not called by the launch path or the test suite. Extends test_cli_backend
for the new dispatch.
