fix(smolmachines): pass --net explicitly when allow_cidrs is set
test / unit (pull_request) Successful in 27s
test / integration (pull_request) Successful in 40s

smolvm 0.8.0 docs say `--allow-cidr` implies `--net`, but
empirically the implication only fires when no `--from` is set.
`--from PATH --allow-cidr X/32` silently produces a machine with
network: false and no routes in the guest — claude lands inside
with HTTPS_PROXY pointing at the bundle's pinned IP but every
connect fails with "Network is unreachable" / FailedToOpenSocket
in claude's UI.

Reproduce + verify:
  $ smolvm machine create --from <pack> --allow-cidr X/32 nettest
  $ smolvm machine ls --json | jq '.[].network'  # false
  $ smolvm machine create --from <pack> --net --allow-cidr X/32 nettest2
  $ smolvm machine ls --json | jq '.[].network'  # true

Add `--net` whenever `allow_cidrs` is non-empty. No change to the
no-allow-cidr code path. Test added to lock down both branches.
