Extend buildRootfs with a cloudImgFormat parameter to support extracting from qcow2 images using libguestfs-with-appliance. Add a debian-13 distro entry fetching the genericcloud qcow2 from cloud.debian.org. Unfortunately we have to restrict to x86_64-linux because libguestfs-appliance is not available on aarch64 in nixpkgs.
Generalize forEachUbuntuImage to forEachImage and iterates over both ubuntu and debian distros from nix-vm-test.
Extract the URL + sha256 pairs from lib/container-test-driver/distros.nix into lib/container-test-driver/images.json. This should make it easier to update cloud image versions in the future.
Add a new cloudImgFormat = "disk-tarball" path to buildRootfs that unpacks Debian's *-genericcloud-*.tar.xz, extracts the largest GPT partition with sfdisk + dd, and dumps its ext4 contents. All required tools are cross-architecture in nixpkgs, unlike the previous qcow2 path that depended on libguestfs-with-appliance (which is x86_64 only). Switch debian-13 over to the new format and add aarch64-linux to its images.json entry. The qcow2 branch stays in place for future distros that only publish qcow2.
The update script is modeled on numtide/nix-vm-test's scripts/update-images.py but adapted to our needs: Ubuntu *-root.tar.xz rootfs tarballs instead of qcow2 disk images, Debian genericcloud instead of generic.
Run tools/update-images.py on a Monday-morning cron and open a PR with any URL/hash diffs, mirroring update-nix-version.yml.
