refactor(firecracker): single-source the network-pool defaults

The pool params (size, IP base, iface prefix, nft table) were triplicated
— hardcoded in netpool.py, scripts/firecracker-netpool.sh, and
nix/firecracker-netpool.nix — plus the IP math (3x) and the nft ruleset
(2x). Nothing enforced agreement; changing the base (ce3fad9, off CGNAT)
forced a coordinated three-file edit, and a missed one would silently
provision a range the launcher doesn't expect.

Collapse to one source of truth:

  * netpool.defaults.env — a plain KEY=VALUE file (bash-sourceable,
    systemd EnvironmentFile-compatible, Python- and Nix-parseable) holding
    the four defaults. A BOT_BOTTLE_FC_* env var still overrides any key.
  * netpool.py reads it for the Python defaults (missing file = hard
    error, not confusing empty defaults).
  * the shell script falls back to it (no literal `:-8` / `10.243.0.0`),
    and its `up` is now non-destructive/idempotent (only creates a
    missing TAP), so re-running never cuts a live VM.
  * the Nix module readFile-parses it for its option defaults and
    delegates bring-up to the SAME shell script (dropping its duplicate
    IP math, nft ruleset, and TAP loop) — passing every value as
    Environment= so the store-detached script never needs the file.

Net: defaults 3x -> 1x, nft ruleset 2x -> 1x, TAP loop 2x -> 1x. The one
remaining IP-math dup (Python launch-addressing vs bash bring-up) is
justified — different runtimes. Tests now guard the invariant (Python
reads the shared file; the script/module hold no literals) instead of
pinning duplicated strings.

 > **NixOS:** enable `virtualisation.docker`, ensure the KVM module is loaded (`boot.kernelModules = [ "kvm-intel" ];` or `kvm-amd`), and add your user to the `kvm` and `docker` groups. For the network pool, consume the flake module — `imports = [ inputs.bot-bottle.nixosModules.firecracker-netpool ]; services.bot-bottle-firecracker = { enable = true; owner = "you"; };` — then `nixos-rebuild switch` (imperative nft/TAP rules don't survive a rebuild; channel users can `imports = [ <bot-bottle>/nix/firecracker-netpool.nix ]`). `firecracker` isn't in nixpkgs by default as a user binary — install the release binary (pin the version) and put it on `PATH`.
 
-> **CI:** the coverage gate (`.gitea/workflows/test.yml` → `coverage` job) runs on a self-hosted runner labelled `kvm`, because the Firecracker backend's VM/SSH orchestration is exercised only by the integration suite, which needs `/dev/kvm` + the provisioned pool (a container runner would skip it and read as uncovered). Provision that runner exactly like a normal Firecracker host — `firecracker` on `PATH`, `/dev/kvm`, Docker, the cached guest kernel + static dropbear, and the pool installed as the persistent systemd unit — then register it with the `kvm` label. The unit/lint jobs still run on `ubuntu-latest`.
