marvin f931705971 Add --mount flag for 9p host directory sharing
CI / build (pull_request) Successful in 13s
Add support for sharing host directories into the VM via QEMU 9p
(virtio-9p).  The --mount flag can be repeated; each host directory
appears at the same absolute path inside the VM.

Design:
- QEMU: each --mount gets a short 9p tag (slim0, slim1, …) via
  -virtfs local,path=…,mount_tag=slimN,security_model=mapped-xattr.
  Tags are kept short because 9p mount_tag has a ~31-byte limit.
- Kernel cmdline: the full destination path is passed as
  slim.mount=<tag>:<base64(path)> so the init script knows where to
  mount each tag.  Base64 avoids issues with spaces/special chars.
- slim-init.sh: after networking, parse slim.mount= entries, mkdir -p
  the destination, and mount -t 9p <tag> <dest> -o trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L

Tests verify: 9p share detection via sysfs mount_tag, 9p entry in
mount output, file content accessible at the expected path, and clean
VM exit.

hulthe c2a9f00fc0 Inject universal /slim/init instead of requiring container-specific setup
CI / build (pull_request) Successful in 36s
CI / build (push) Successful in 13s
slim now works with any Containerfile by injecting distro-agnostic scripts
at build time:

- /slim/init: mounts special filesystems, configures networking (static
  QEMU slirp), sets up cgroup2, timezone, and rootless container prereqs.
  Parses slim.cmd=<base64> from the kernel cmdline for runtime overrides,
  otherwise execs /slim/exec.

- /slim/exec: generated from the image's CMD/ENTRYPOINT (via podman image
  inspect), overridable via --cmd at build and run time.

Changes:
- New src/inject.rs: inspect image config, infer command, generate
  /slim/exec script, inject /slim/ into mounted rootfs
- New src/scripts/slim-init.sh: the universal init script (include_str!)
- build.rs: rename --init to --cmd, inject scripts before packing,
  drop Meta::save, restructure to ensure unmount always runs
- qemu.rs: hardcode init=/slim/init, add --cmd (base64 on cmdline),
  drop Meta::load, add -no-reboot
- Remove src/meta.rs and meta.toml (no longer needed)
- Cargo.toml: add serde_json + base64, remove unused walkdir + cpio + toml
- Example Containerfiles simplified to plain FROM + CMD
- New example/test.sh for manual verification
- README updated for new workflow
