davidandClaude Opus 5.5 e003b4c352 Show progress while the smoketest waits on a VM
The waits for SSH, GNOME and a reboot say what they're waiting for and
repeat it once a minute, and the base build says when it's waiting for
cloud-init, installing GNOME and shutting down.

davidandClaude Opus 5.5 e4c68a5567 Don't wait for clock sync at boot, so the VM's sshd starts
Arch's cloud image enables systemd-time-wait-sync, and sshd is ordered
after pacman-init, which waits for time-sync.target. Once provision.sh
turns off systemd-networkd, systemd-timesyncd thinks it's offline and never
syncs, so every boot after the base build waited forever and the installed
image's build failed with "The VM didn't answer on SSH".

davidandClaude Opus 5.5 9e4b78bb88 Use QEMU's standard VGA instead of virtio-vga
On Arch, -vga virtio needs qemu-hw-display-virtio-vga and also
qemu-hw-display-virtio-gpu, which that package doesn't depend on; with only
the first, QEMU segfaults at start without a message. The smoketest's VMs
are headless (or VNC), so -vga std, which qemu-base has, is enough. This
reverts 2207208's extra package and checks.

davidandClaude Opus 5.5 2207208326 Install QEMU's virtio-vga display and check for it
The smoketest VMs start with -vga virtio, but Arch packages that display
apart from qemu-base, so the base image build failed with "Virtio VGA not
available". update.sh now installs qemu-hw-display-virtio-vga, and doctor
and smoketest run check QEMU has the display before anything downloads.
