fix(linux/build): systemd-in-container build host (M1.1)

Run #4258 cleared the systemctl shim only to die two seconds later on
the *next* expectation derivative-maker has of a real systemd host:
its sources.list points at http://127.0.0.1:9977/debian (the approx
package-cache socket-activated by systemd) and apt-get update could
not reach the daemon because nothing was actually started by the
no-op shim:

    Err:1 http://127.0.0.1:9977/debian trixie InRelease
      Could not connect to 127.0.0.1:9977 (127.0.0.1).
      - connect (111: Connection refused)

Whack-a-mole'ing each service derivative-maker tries to start (approx
today, then journald, then systemd-logind, then who-knows-what
tomorrow) is going to keep failing for a while — derivative-maker is
fundamentally designed for a real systemd-managed Debian host. The
container pattern upstream itself ships
(linux/build/derivative-maker/docker/) runs systemd as PID 1 inside
the container; this commit adopts that approach.

Architecture:

  - PID 1 in the build container is now systemd. Upstream's vendored
    entrypoint.sh records the user-supplied command into
    /etc/docker-entrypoint-cmd, captures env into
    /etc/docker-entrypoint-env, masks irrelevant units, and execs
    systemd. systemd boots, docker-entrypoint.service runs the
    command, docker-entrypoint-stop.sh propagates the exit code via
    `systemctl exit <code>` so the container exits with the right
    status.

  - The four entrypoint files (entrypoint.sh,
    docker-entrypoint.service / .target, docker-entrypoint-stop.sh)
    are vendored at linux/build/docker/systemd-entrypoint/ rather
    than COPY'd from the submodule path — Docker build context can
    only reach below itself, and bumping is tracked in that dir's
    README.

  - Container runtime now requires --cgroupns=host, --tmpfs /run,
    --tmpfs /run/lock, and -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:rw so
    systemd can manage cgroups properly. -t allocates a TTY,
    satisfying entrypoint.sh's `[ ! -t 0 ] && exit 1` check in CI
    where stdin is otherwise /dev/null.

  - User renamed builder → user (uid 1000, passwordless sudo) to
    match upstream's USER=user / HOME=/home/user convention. chown
    in build.sh now uses uid 1000:1000 so it's name-agnostic.

  - Image package list grew to match upstream's
    derivative-maker-docker-setup (sq stack + dbus + approx + the
    rest) plus our ISO toolchain (live-build / debootstrap / xorriso
    / squashfs-tools / etc.). Snapshot.debian.org pinning is
    preserved (same APT_SNAPSHOT_URL, two-phase install pattern).

Verified:

  Smoke test on 10.0.0.51 — `docker run --rm --privileged
  --cgroupns=host --tmpfs /run --tmpfs /run/lock -v /sys/fs/cgroup:...:rw
  -t <image> /bin/bash -c 'echo OK'` — booted systemd, ran the
  command via docker-entrypoint.service, captured the output, shut
  down filesystems and exited cleanly.

build.sh BUILDER_IMAGE pin → sha256:dc9dd29d…8811. Image rebuilt
natively on 10.0.0.51, pushed to docker-registry.silverlabs.uk.

The systemctl shim is removed by virtue of the Dockerfile rewrite —
real systemd makes it unnecessary. The previous "iter6 / iter7"
intermediate digests stay in the registry until we GC; the live one
is m1.1-iter8-systemd.
