- Remove hardcoded --backend=macos-container flag reference in
  firecracker/util.py require_firecracker() error message
- Remove --backend flag from cli.py start; backend selection now
  driven exclusively by BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND env var or auto-selection
- Skip unavailable backends in cli.py cleanup (fixes crash on Linux
  when macos-container.prepare_cleanup calls require_container())
- Add two-tier auto-selection: VM backend first (macos-container on
  macOS, firecracker on Linux+KVM); fall back to docker with a
  security warning and interactive i/d/q prompt; exit if docker
  also unavailable and print VM install instructions
