Update the composable-vm-images proposal with the design decisions we only
arrived at after experimenting with the implementation:
* Replace the hardcoded agent path-resolution table with the data-driven
components.toml manifest (process levels, args/optional_args, env,
wait_socket, ${...} substitution, and select/variants), keeping the agent
generic.
* Document the attester-variant contract: NVRC exports KATA_ATTESTER_VARIANT
and the manifest selects the stock vs NVIDIA attestation-agent.
* Document the runtime dependency requirements found during bring-up: the
nvidia attester's LD_LIBRARY_PATH (libnvat closure in the coco addon +
NVML in the gpu addon) and the NVML-init failure mode, plus CDH
secure_mount tooling placement -- plain storage (mke2fs/mkfs.ext4/dd) in
the base vs encrypted storage (cryptsetup) in the coco addon, the CDH
PATH, and the base/addon ABI lockstep.
* Reflect the storage tooling and bundled libraries in the base/coco-addon
build sections, and mark the GPU addon as implemented.
