Completes the de-sidecar cleanup: no live code, test, current doc,
script, or nix file mentions or is named "sidecar" any more. Only the
dated PRD/research docs keep the term as historical record (agreed on
the #385 thread).
- Rename `sidecar_init.py`→`gateway_init.py` was done earlier; this pass
sweeps the remaining descriptive uses: the egress / git-gate / supervise
components are the gateway's *daemons*, the shared container is the
*gateway*, the old per-bottle container was the *companion container*.
- Rename `tests/integration/test_sidecar_bundle_image.py`→`test_gateway_image.py`
and its class; update `docs/ci.md` + `tests/README.md` for the renamed/
removed integration tests.
- `SIDECAR_PORTS` shell var in `scripts/firecracker-netpool.sh`→`GATEWAY_PORTS`.
Full unit suite green (bar the pre-existing `/bin/sleep`-missing env
errors in test_gateway_init); docker integration — gateway singleton,
broker, real two-bottle multitenant isolation, and the gateway-image
build — all pass.

Delete the smolmachines backend (the whole bot_bottle/backend/smolmachines
package and its tests). It had fatal Linux issues (TSI networking under
sustained use, exec-channel contention, no SIGWINCH) and is superseded by
the Firecracker backend (issue #342).
Backend selection now:
- default is macos-container on macOS, firecracker on KVM-capable Linux
hosts, and docker as the last resort (was smolmachines).
- firecracker is selected on a KVM host even when the `firecracker`
binary isn't installed, so start routes through its preflight and
prints an install pointer (same UX as require_container), instead of
silently falling back. Split is_host_capable() (Linux + KVM) out of
is_available() (adds the binary check) to drive this.
Retarget the cross-backend tests (parity, print-parity, prepare,
workspace, freezer, selection) from smolmachines to firecracker rather
than dropping the coverage. Remove docker.util.image_id/save, which only
smolmachines used. Update README/AGENTS/example bottles and stale
comments; historical docs/prds are left as a point-in-time record.
BREAKING: BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=smolmachines now errors as unknown.

- Strip pipelock from all unit and integration test fixtures:
proxy_plan fields removed from DockerBottlePlan/SmolmachinesBottlePlan
constructors; pipelock-specific test classes deleted or renamed
- Update test_sidecar_init: remove test_pipelock_loses_egress_tokens,
rename "pipelock" daemon fixtures to "git-gate" throughout
- Remove test_pipelock_binary_present_and_versioned from integration test
- Remove test_pipelock_answers_on_bundle_ip from smolmachines launch test
- Update _SANDBOX_BLOCK_MARKERS: remove "pipelock" marker (egress blocks)
- Dockerfile.sidecars: remove pipelock build stage and COPY; update layout
comments and port table
- egress_entrypoint.sh: update comments now that egress is sole proxy
- Clean up pipelock references in comments/docstrings across backend,
network, manifest, supervise, git_gate, yaml_subset, agent_provider,
sidecar_bundle, sidecar_init, egress_addon_core modules
