feat: Complete Zero OS Alpine Initramfs Builder

✅ FULLY IMPLEMENTED SYSTEM:
- Container-only builds (no host builds)
- Firmware installation via Alpine APK packages
- Recursive module dependency resolution with modinfo
- Latest stable kernel 6.12.44
- Complete ThreeFold component integration
- Centralized configuration management
- GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline

🔧 READY FOR PRODUCTION:
- All bash scripts tested and functional
- Complete error handling and logging
- Modular library architecture
- Strip + UPX optimization
- 2-stage module loading
- Complete zinit integration

📝 CONTAINER PERMISSIONS NOTE:
Container volume permissions may need host-specific adjustment
for optimal build directory access in different environments.
