Honza Novak fb1db7c9ea feat: multi-distro support and tagged golden snapshots
Add Alpine, Debian, and Ubuntu rootfs support to `init [distro]`.
Golden snapshots are now namespaced under `golden/<tag>/` so multiple
baselines can coexist. `spawn [tag] [N]` selects which snapshot to
clone from. Systemd-based distros (Debian, Ubuntu) get a fc-net-init
systemd unit; Alpine keeps its inittab-based init.

// fc-orchestrator — Poor man's Firecracker snapshot orchestrator in Go.
//
// Creates a golden VM, snapshots it, then spawns N clones that share the
// base memory file via Firecracker's MAP_PRIVATE (kernel-level COW).
// Rootfs gets a filesystem-level COW copy (reflink where supported).
//
// Usage:
//
// go build -o fc-orch .
// sudo ./fc-orch init
// sudo ./fc-orch golden
// sudo ./fc-orch spawn 10
// sudo ./fc-orch status
// sudo ./fc-orch kill
// sudo ./fc-orch cleanup
