FIX: CI build — F44 dev-repo GPG, /usr/local/bin writes, k3s-selinux tag, sbom skip

Five fixes for the in-CI Phase-2 build that landed at 71c717d:

1. automation/01-repos.sh — Fedora 44 dev tree returns 404 on
   repodata/repomd.xml.asc because dev-tree metadata is not GPG-signed.
   With repo_gpgcheck=1 and skip_if_unavailable=False, the metadata-load
   error cascades into every subsequent dnf transaction (every package
   install in 11-hardware/12-virt/etc. fails strict mode). Set
   repo_gpgcheck=0 and skip_if_unavailable=True for both F44 repos —
   individual *packages* are still RPM-signature-verified by gpgcheck=1;
   when F44 mirrors are intermittently down, dnf falls back to F43 from
   the ucore-hci base.

2. automation/13-ceph-k3s.sh — write k3s + k3s-install.sh into /usr/bin/
   instead of /usr/local/bin/. /usr/local is a symlink to /var/usrlocal
   on bootc/FCOS layouts; /var/usrlocal/bin/ does not exist at OCI build
   time (created at first boot by usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/mios.conf), so the
   prior `mv` died with "No such file or directory". Use install(1) +
   relative ln -sf for the kubectl/crictl/ctr aliases.

3. automation/42-cosign-policy.sh — same /usr/local fix; cosign now
   installs to /usr/bin/cosign.

4. automation/19-k3s-selinux.sh — pinned tag v1.5.stable.2 was deleted
   upstream. Resolve the latest v* tag via `git ls-remote --tags`; fall
   back to master if discovery fails or the requested tag is missing.

5. automation/90-generate-sbom.sh — install_packages is best-effort and
   returns 0 even on miss, so the script previously continued to invoke
   syft and died with exit 127. Re-check `command -v syft` after the
   install attempt and exit 0 cleanly when syft is unavailable
   (non-fatal stage).

Build log shows packages-base ('policycoreutils-python-utils …'
'fapolicyd' 'crowdsec' 'usbguard' …) installs cleanly via the new SSOT
block; the bind-mount/ctx pattern works; bound-images.d binds all 9
Quadlets across both /usr/share and /etc surfaces; the new lint-last
RUN order is honored. Three FAILED + five WARN scripts all trace back
to the F44 dev-repo signature issue; these five fixes resolve the
fatal path.
