The orchestrator/gateway VM is trusted infra, not an isolated agent: it
builds agent images in-VM (buildah must FROM-pull + apt/npm) and, in the
Stage B cutover, forwards agent egress upstream. Give it a dedicated TAP
(`bborch0`) on a /31 at the top of the IP_BASE /16 (clear of the bbfc*
agent pool at the bottom), NAT'd out the host uplink — while agent VMs
keep their fail-closed, gateway-only isolation table.
- netpool.defaults.env / netpool.py: new BOT_BOTTLE_FC_ORCH_IFACE +
`orch_slot()` (index -1 sentinel; host x.y.255.0 / guest x.y.255.1).
- scripts/firecracker-netpool.sh: create + address the orchestrator TAP;
`bot_bottle_fc_nat` table masquerades its /31 out the uplink and
accepts its forward path. Because bootstrap still runs Docker (whose
FORWARD policy is DROP), a best-effort, guarded, idempotent DOCKER-USER
ACCEPT is added too (skipped once Docker is gone). down/status updated.
- nix/firecracker-netpool.nix: mirror the option, pass it via the unit
Environment= (the store-copied script can't read the defaults file),
and add iptables to the unit path for the DOCKER-USER step.
Agent isolation is unchanged: the new rules only ever accept/masquerade
the orchestrator link and never drop, so they can't weaken the bbfc*
drops. Applied by re-running `sudo ./scripts/firecracker-netpool.sh up`.

Cleanup orphan-enumeration + removal, the backend setup/status/teardown/
cleanup classmethod delegates, guest-IP parsing, the unprivileged nft/TAP
probes, console-tail, and require_firecracker preflight branches. Lifts
the unit-only diff-coverage on the firecracker backend substantially;
the deep VM boot/SSH orchestration remains integration-covered.
