chore(bootstrap): update ubuntu non-lts codename to questing (25.10)

- Generate resolv.conf from inventory DNS settings instead of copying
  host file (Arch ISO has systemd-resolved stub 127.0.0.53)
- Add XFS compat options for GRUB 2.06 and kernel 5.14 across LVM
  volumes, /boot partition, and data disks
- Mount API filesystems (proc, sys, dev) into chroot for RPM scriptlets
- Bypass GPG Sequoia validation with _pkgverify_level none
- Tolerate grub2-common scriptlet warnings
- Handle libvirt VM destroy gracefully during cleanup

-All desktop environments are Wayland-only. `sway` and `hyprland` are available on Arch only;
-`gnome` and `kde` are available on all three families. On enterprise Linux
-(almalinux/rocky/rhel) the base desktop installs browser, PDF and image viewers but no
-video player - none is packaged in the EL base repositories, and no third-party repo is
-pulled in; add one from rpmfusion/flatpak if you need it.
-
-When `enabled: true`, the bootstrap installs the desktop environment packages, enables the display manager
-and bluetooth services, and sets the systemd default target to `graphical.target`.
-
-Display manager auto-detection: gnome to gdm; kde to plasma-login-manager on Arch and
-Fedora 44+ (Plasma 6.6), else sddm; sway and hyprland to greetd.
-
-`ly` is an explicit-only override (never auto-selected), available on Arch only,
-and is desktop-agnostic - it can front any environment. It runs on `tty2` with
-`getty@tty2` masked, and its autologin is written to `/etc/ly/config.ini`; set `session`
-to the target session's `.desktop` basename (sway and hyprland resolve automatically).
-
-When `autologin` names a user, the matching display manager is configured to log that user in without a
-password prompt. `session` is resolved automatically per environment when left empty (gdm picks its default,
-sddm uses `plasma.desktop` for kde, greetd runs the compositor command for sway/hyprland), so it only needs
-setting to override that choice.

-#### 4.2.6 `system.features.firmware`
-
-| Key         | Type            | Default | Description                                                       |
-| ----------- | --------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `enabled`   | bool \| `auto`  | `auto`  | Install vendor firmware blobs. `auto` = on for `physical`, off for `virtual` |
-| `microcode` | bool \| `auto`  | `auto`  | Install CPU microcode. `auto` follows `firmware.enabled`          |
-
-Defaults are designed so a baremetal install picks up firmware automatically with no inventory entry needed,
-while VMs skip it (the hypervisor handles those). The environment role detects CPU/GPU/wireless vendors from
-the live host (via `lscpu` and `lspci`) and the bootstrap role installs only the matching firmware packages.
-On Arch, this uses the vendor splits (`linux-firmware-amdgpu`, `linux-firmware-realtek`, etc.) so the install
-stays minimal. On Debian, it uses the equivalent `firmware-*` packages. Distros without firmware splits fall
-back to a single meta package.
-
-#### 4.2.7 `system.features.gpu`
-
-| Key             | Type   | Default | Description                                          |
-| --------------- | ------ | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
-| `enabled`       | bool   | `false` | Install Mesa, Vulkan, and per-GPU userspace          |
-| `nvidia_driver` | string | `auto`  | One of `auto`, `open`, `proprietary`, `nouveau`      |
-
-Pair with `desktop.enabled: true` for a working desktop. The package set is determined by the same hardware
-profile as `firmware`. The `nvidia_driver: auto` default picks **`open`** (`nvidia-open` kernel modules) for
-Turing or newer GPUs, falls back to **`proprietary`** for older cards on distros that ship the proprietary
-driver, and falls back to **`nouveau`** elsewhere. Force a specific flavor by setting the value explicitly.
-
-Proprietary and open Nvidia drivers on Fedora require RPMFusion non-free, which the bootstrap enables
-automatically when needed. Debian uses `nvidia-driver` from the `non-free` component (already enabled in the
-managed `sources.list`). Ubuntu uses `restricted`. Arch ships both `nvidia-open-dkms` and `nvidia-dkms` in
-the `extra` repository - no third-party setup required.
-
-> **Known limitation - Nvidia on Enterprise Linux (AlmaLinux/Rocky/RHEL):** the EL `akmod-nvidia*`
-> packages live in RPMFusion non-free, and the bootstrap only enables RPMFusion automatically on
-> **Fedora**, not on EL. So Nvidia on a bare EL desktop is best-effort: enable RPMFusion (or supply the
-> driver repo) out of band, or it falls back to `nouveau`. EL desktops are not a primary target.
-
-#### 4.2.8 `system.features.peripherals`
-
-| Key           | Type            | Default | Description                                                |
-| ------------- | --------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `enabled`     | bool \| `auto`  | `auto`  | Master switch. `auto` follows `desktop.enabled`            |
-| `fingerprint` | bool \| `auto`  | `auto`  | `fprintd`/`libfprint`. `auto` = install when reader detected |
-| `camera`      | bool \| `auto`  | `auto`  | `v4l-utils` for UVC webcams. `auto` = install when a UVC/IPU6 camera is detected (IPU6 out-of-tree stack is logged, not auto-installed) |
-| `audio`       | bool \| `auto`  | `auto`  | SOF firmware + ALSA UCM. `auto` = install when an audio device is detected |
-| `bluetooth`   | bool \| `auto`  | `auto`  | `bluez`. `auto` = install when a Bluetooth controller is detected |
-| `displaylink` | bool            | `false` | DisplayLink dock support (explicit opt-in; see notes)      |
-
-Fingerprint detection scans `lsusb` for known reader vendor IDs (Synaptics, Validity, Goodix, Elan, Egis,
-Broadcom, AuthenTec, Upek, Futronic). When `fingerprint: auto` and a reader is present, `fprintd` and the
-PAM helper are installed. PAM enrollment must be done post-install (`fprintd-enroll`).
-
-DisplayLink ships proprietary userspace that distros do not package consistently. The bootstrap installs the
-in-tree `evdi-dkms` kernel module on Debian/Ubuntu and the `evdi` module on Fedora, but the userspace blob
-must still be installed manually from DisplayLink's site after first boot. Arch users typically use AUR
-(`displaylink`); this is not wired into the bootstrap.
-
-#### 4.2.9 `system.features.hardware`
-
-| Key       | Type | Default | Description                                                          |
-| --------- | ---- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `profile` | dict | `{}`    | Full override: non-empty SKIPS detection (golden image); empty = autodetect |
-| group fields | mixed | --   | `cpu`/`gpus`/`wireless`/`audio`/`camera`/`fingerprint`/`bluetooth`/`packages`/`disable`/`kernel_params` MERGE over autodetect (see below) |
-
-When empty, hardware is detected at the start of the bootstrap. When set, detection is skipped and the
-supplied profile drives package selection - this is the **golden-image** flow: bake an image with a fixed
-profile, snapshot it, and reuse the same profile on every deploy of that hardware class.
-
-Profile shape:
-
-```yaml
-system:
-  features:
-    hardware:
-      profile:
-        cpu: intel                    # intel | amd
-        gpus: [intel, nvidia]         # any of: intel, amd, nvidia
-        nvidia_supports_open: true    # set false to force proprietary/nouveau
-        wireless: [intel]             # any of: intel, amd, atheros, broadcom,
-                                      # mediatek, marvell, realtek, qcom, cirrus
-        fingerprint: false            # set true to force fprintd install
-```
-
-The same keys (minus `profile`) can also be set **directly under `hardware`** as a
-declarative **hardware group** that MERGES over auto-detection (auto-detect = base; the
-group supplements/overrides it). Unlike `profile`, which skips detection entirely, the
-group keeps detection running and layers on top - use it to pin everything a known device
-needs so nothing is ever under-set.
-
-| Key                       | Type | Merge semantics                                          |
-| ------------------------- | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `cpu`                     | str  | pin the CPU vendor (overrides detection when non-empty)  |
-| `gpus`/`wireless`/`audio` | list | union with the detected vendor codes                     |
-| `camera`                  | dict | `{uvc, ipu6}` booleans OR'd with detection               |
-| `fingerprint`/`bluetooth` | bool | OR'd with detection (force-on)                           |
-| `packages`                | dict | per-`os_family` extra packages, added to the install set (deduped; empty entries dropped) |
-| `disable`                 | list | feature/vendor names force-off, applied last             |
-| `kernel_params`           | list | extra kernel cmdline params, appended to the bootloader   |
-
-Example - a laptop with an Intel IPU6 camera (out-of-tree stack) and a Cirrus amp, pinned
-in a group's `group_vars`:
-
-```yaml
-system:
-  features:
-    hardware:
-      bluetooth: true                 # force-on if detection misses the combo card
-      camera:
-        ipu6: true                    # force the IPU6 path
-      packages:                       # out-of-tree/AUR bits detection must not auto-install
-        Archlinux: [intel-ipu6-dkms, v4l2-relayd, linux-firmware-cirrus]
-      disable: [displaylink]          # never pull DisplayLink on this device
