live-image: fix firmware so i915 actually loads at boot
CI / Lint + build + test (push) Successful in 1m35s
Release / release (push) Failing after 22s

Previous attempt (c962d6d) added firmware-linux-nonfree to mkosi.conf,
but the CI bundle was still 63 MB and Tiger Lake wedged on tgl_guc.
Two reasons: (1) firmware-linux-nonfree on bookworm is a thin
metapackage that doesn't include firmware-misc-nonfree, which is where
i915 GuC/HuC blobs actually live; (2) Ubuntu's apt-packaged mkosi is
old enough that Repositories=non-free-firmware shorthand likely isn't
wired through to the debootstrap invocation, so firmware packages
silently miss the bootstrap step entirely.

Changes:
- Enumerate firmware packages explicitly in mkosi.conf (firmware-
  misc-nonfree, firmware-iwlwifi, firmware-realtek, firmware-amd-
  graphics, firmware-intel-sound, intel/amd64-microcode).
- Ship mkosi.sources.d/debian.sources with explicit deb822 so the
  non-free-firmware component is unambiguously available.
- Install mkosi 24.3 via pip in CI instead of apt's older build.
- Pin MODULES=most and COMPRESS=zstd via a tracked initramfs-tools
  config under mkosi.extra/.
- Narrow .gitignore so only the generated agent binary is ignored,
  not the whole mkosi.extra/ tree.
- New check-initrd Makefile target asserts both size (>=150 MB) and
  actual presence of i915/tgl_guc_*.bin inside the built initrd, so
  a silent firmware-drop regression fails the build loudly.
