Support host:guest mount syntax with WORKINGDIR resolution
CI / build (pull_request) Successful in 13s
CI / build (push) Successful in 13s

--mount now accepts <host-path>:<guest-path> (Docker-style). When the
guest path is omitted, the host path is used. Non-absolute guest paths
are resolved against the image WORKINGDIR, which is written to
/slim/workdir at build time and read by slim-init.sh at boot.

Changes:
- qemu.rs: Parse host:guest spec, pass guest path (not host path) on
  the kernel cmdline as slim.mount=<tag>:<base64(guest_path)>
- inject.rs: Accept working_dir param, write /slim/workdir into rootfs
- build.rs: Pass config.working_dir to inject()
- slim-init.sh: Read /slim/workdir, resolve relative guest paths
  against it before mounting
- test.sh: Test host:guest absolute paths (multi-mount) and relative
  guest path resolved against WORKINGDIR
