fix(smolmachines): enforce per-bottle loopback isolation on Linux via iptables

On Linux, smolvm's TSI allowlist DB patch crashes boot, so
force_allowlist is a no-op. This left the agent VM with full
host loopback access — a security regression from the macOS
behavior.

Fix: install guest-side iptables rules in _init_vm that ACCEPT
traffic to the bottle's allocated loopback alias (proxy_host/32)
and DROP all other 127.0.0.0/8 destinations. The agent runs as
non-root (node) and cannot flush the rules.

- Add iptables to claude and codex agent Dockerfiles
- Use DROP (not REJECT) — libkrun kernel lacks the REJECT module
- Skip on macOS where force_allowlist handles it natively
