feat(image): distro-agnostic remote unlock via initramfs backends + Debian support

Split the mkinitcpio-only remote-LUKS-unlock path into an InitramfsBackend
ABC with a get_backend() dispatch, and add the initramfs-tools backend for
Debian / Raspberry Pi OS.

- base.py: six-step backend contract; encryption.py becomes a thin,
  distro-neutral sequencer (get_backend by distribution).
- initramfs_tools.py: crypttab `none luks,initramfs`, cmdline rewritten to
  root=/dev/mapper + ip=::::host:eth0:dhcp, dropbear-initramfs
  authorized_keys, update-initramfs -k all (no build-host uname leak).
- shipped hooks (configuration/initramfs-tools/*): single-hop non-anonymous
  onion, libnss DNS baking, sed-not-source DHCP, kill-tor-before-pivot.
- shared offline onion keygen in keygen.py; tor.py removed (logic moved to
  mkinitcpio.py).
- raspios added to the apt distro family (session.py, raspberry.py).

It reproduces the operator-visible half of the decryption process that the
"tor" mkinitcpio hook drives at boot:
1. generate the v3 onion keys offline (as lim.image.tor does in the chroot),
1. generate the v3 onion keys offline (as lim.image.initramfs.keygen does in the chroot),
2. start a real Tor onion service from a torrc mirroring the baked-in one,
forwarding the virtual port 22 to a local dropbear stand-in,
3. connect to the .onion address through Tor and deliver the passphrase,
