Add Containerfile: build boco (musl) + slim kernel; runnable runner image

- 3-stage build: musl boco+boco-init (rust>=1.88, alpine:edge), linux-7.2
  bzImage from kernel/config (pinned tarball, sha256-verified), slim runtime
  with qemu/virtiofsd/podman.
- .containerignore: deny-all context (Cargo files, src/, init/, kernel/config)
  so the linux submodule no longer ships into every build.
- Verified end-to-end: kernel boots under KVM, ext4 rootfs, userspace init.
- NOTE: nested rootless podman cannot 'podman unshare -> container mount'
  (build path); boot path works as-is.
