ambientops #127: fix non-compiling backend_interface + honest SPARK boundary + sound contracts

Foundation-first verification (gnatprove + gnat) found backend_interface.ads
was SPARK theatre that NEVER COMPILED:
- Transaction_Item.Package used an Ada reserved word as a field name
  (no compiler accepts it) -> renamed Pkg (zero references anywhere).
- Install/Remove/Upgrade/Upgrade_System/Autoremove are *functions* with
  an in-out controlling parameter -> illegal SPARK (RM 4.5.2), yet the
  unit was pragma SPARK_Mode (On). gnatprove could never analyse it.

Changes (genuine, no theatre, no fake green):
- backend_interface.ads: real bug fix (Package->Pkg, now compiles, gnat
  exit 0); honest pragma SPARK_Mode (Off) with documented rationale;
  added sound Ada 2022 Pre'Class/Post'Class on the SPARK-legal query ops
  (Get_Name/Search/Get_Package_Info) + Pre on Register_Backend (runtime
  -gnata enforced; also the spec for the OWED SPARK refactor).
- plugin_registry.ads: strengthened with non-empty-ID preconditions on
  Unregister/Get_Plugin/Get_Plugin_Metadata/Enable/Disable/
  Is_Plugin_Enabled (was: only Register_Plugin had a Pre).

OWED (tracked standards#127, must NOT be faked): state-mutating
function->procedure redesign across backend_interface + backend_guix +
backend_nix to make the modification path legal SPARK; only then can
backend_interface/plugin_registry be gnatprove-discharged.
