Samuel Aubertin 0e02b78545 Remove unused capabilities feature and cleanup ...

COMMIT SUMMARY
--------------
Removes the entire capabilities feature (apt-install, packet-capture) that
was unused and not actively maintained. This simplifies the codebase and
removes unnecessary complexity around capability trust, helper processes,
and pod-based capture infrastructure.

CHANGES
-------
sloptrap (main script):
  - Removed SLOPTRAP_SUPPORTED_CAPABILITIES array
  - Removed --trust-capabilities CLI flag
  - Removed capability state path management functions
  - Removed capability trust validation functions
  - Removed packet capture helper infrastructure (pod creation, helperd)
  - Removed capability-enabled container special handling
  - Removed capability build stamp tracking
  - Simplified prepare_container_runtime() - removed capability logic
  - Simplified build_image/rebuild_image - removed capability trust checks
  - Simplified run_runtime_container_cmd - removed helper process management
  - Removed capability environment variables and flags
  - Simplified dispatch_target - removed --trust-capabilities handling

Dockerfile.sloptrap (new):
  - Added new embedded Dockerfile template
  - Removed capability helper binaries from image
  - Simplified entrypoint to just codex directly
  - Removed sloptrap-entrypoint, sloptrap-helperd, slop-apt, slopcap
  - Removed CAPABILITY_PACKAGES build argument
  - Simplified RUN instructions

tests/run_tests.sh:
  - Removed run_git_ignore_mask test (was testing capability trust)
  - Updated runtime_context_prompt test (removed --trust-capabilities)
  - Updated sh_reexec test (removed --trust-capabilities)
  - Updated resume_omits_runtime_context test (removed --trust-capabilities)

tests/capability_repo/.sloptrap (deleted):
  - Removed test manifest that required capabilities

tests/invalid_manifest_capabilities/.sloptrap (deleted):
  - Removed test manifest for capability validation

REASON
------
The capabilities feature was identified as unused and unnecessary.
Maintaining it added complexity without providing value. Removing it:
  - Reduces code complexity and maintenance burden
  - Eliminates capability trust state management
  - Removes helper process infrastructure
  - Simplifies container build and runtime logic
  - Removes pod-based capture infrastructure

VERIFICATION
------------
  - All 14 regression tests pass
  - shellcheck sloptrap passes with no warnings
  - No regressions in core functionality (ignore mounts, session management,
    network isolation, etc.)

BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY
----------------------
Breaking change: Any manifests with capabilities= entries will need to be
updated to remove the capabilities key. The --trust-capabilities flag is
no longer supported.
