feat: implement lightweight Linux VM (sprite) execution primitive

Add three new crates implementing the sprite subsystem for running
Claude Code sessions in lightweight KVM micro-VMs on bare metal:

- warpgrid-sprite: Hypervisor trait abstraction (Cloud Hypervisor backend),
  warm VM pool, vsock host↔guest protocol, sprite lifecycle manager
- warpgrid-sprite-storage: S3-compatible object store client (MinIO),
  NVMe read-through chunk cache, checkpoint/restore manager
- sprite-init: Guest PID 1 supervisor binary with namespace setup,
  virtio-fs workspace mounting, activity tracking, and vsock communication

Extends existing crates:
- warpgrid-state: SpriteSpec, SpriteStatus, SpriteResources models with
  full CRUD operations and owner/node queries (6 new tests)
- warpgrid-api: 8 sprite REST endpoints (create, get, list, delete,
  wake, sleep, checkpoint, exec) with 7 new handler tests
- warpgrid-placement: Cache-affinity-aware sprite placement scorer that
  prefers nodes with warm NVMe caches (4 new tests)

All 108 tests pass across affected crates.
