feat(firecracker): split orchestrator and gateway into separate VMs (PRD 0070)
Now that #469 got the DB off the data plane, the Firecracker infra runs as
two microVMs instead of one — mirroring the docker/macos plane split:

  * orchestrator VM (ORCH_IFACE) — control plane + buildah image builds; sole
    DB opener; host-seeded signing key. No gateway daemons.
  * gateway VM (new GW_IFACE) — egress / git-http / supervise data plane;
    mitmproxy CA + a host-minted `gateway` JWT (never the key). Reaches the
    orchestrator only over the one nft forward rule its link allows.

Both boot the SAME shared infra rootfs; a `bb_role=` kernel-cmdline arg
selects which plane a VM's PID-1 init starts, so there is still one published
artifact. The gateway learns the orchestrator's address via `bb_orch=` on the
cmdline (no IP baked into the artifact).

Isolation is nearly free: agents were already nft-dropped except the DNAT'd
gateway ports, so re-pointing that single DNAT rule at the gateway VM
(`dnat to gw_guest`) severs every agent's L3 route to the control plane. The
only added nft is the second infra link's mirror block (masquerade egress +
forward accept, which subsumes gateway->orchestrator) in the shared shell
script and the NixOS module.

netpool gains GW_IFACE + gw_slot() (the /31 above the orch link);
firecracker_vm.boot gains extra_boot_args for the role cmdline; infra_vm
ensure_running() boots + adopts the pair (orchestrator first, then the gateway
that resolves policy against it) and returns an InfraEndpoint mirroring the
docker/macos shape. Builds stay in the orchestrator (PRD 0070 v1); the gateway
is the slim unit.

Unit-tested (test_firecracker_infra_vm rewritten for two VMs; gw_slot helper
test added); the KVM boot / L3-isolation checks are validated on a Firecracker
host.

"""Consolidated bottle launch sequence for the Firecracker backend
(PRD 0070, Stage B).
The orchestrator control plane and the shared gateway run in **two** persistent
per-host **infra VMs** (`infra_vm.py`), split per PRD 0070 — not Docker
containers. Agent VMs reach the gateway's egress / supervise / git-http ports
via a PREROUTING DNAT on their own host-side TAP IP that redirects to the
**gateway** VM (see `scripts/firecracker-netpool.sh`) — never the orchestrator,
so a breached agent has no L3 route to the control plane. The host CLI reaches
the control plane over HTTP at the orchestrator VM's guest IP.
Attribution is by the agent VM's guest IP, unspoofable by construction: the
/31 point-to-point TAP + the `bot_bottle_fc` nft table ensure only the
expected VM can source-IP that address.
Sequence:
1. ensure the infra VMs (orchestrator control plane + gateway data plane)
are up (a singleton pair — a prior launcher may already have booted them);
2. register the bottle on the orchestrator by its guest IP (attribution key)
→ bottle id + identity token;
3. provision its git-gate repos/creds into the gateway VM (over SSH);
4. fetch the shared gateway CA for the provisioner to install in the rootfs.
The TAP slot allocation, rootfs build, and VM boot are the caller's job.
