Build the custom vminit image locally via make vminit-image; drop the CI workflow

The GitHub-hosted macos runners can't build the host framework (needs the
macOS 26+ Virtualization SDK), so publish the custom vminit guest image from a
local macOS 26/27 machine instead. Adds root-Makefile targets:
  - vminit-image-prep : one-time swiftly + musl static SDK install
  - vminit-image      : build cctl + cross-build vminitd, package the image
  - vminit-image-push : push to GHCR (REGISTRY_* env creds)
Forces WARNINGS_AS_ERRORS=false (Xcode Swift 6.4 rejects -warnings-as-errors
alongside SwiftPM's -suppress-warnings). Removes .github/workflows/vminit-image.yml
and repoints vminitReference + PATCHES.md docs at the Makefile.
