pki: the StarshipOS CA, made on the CI box; capsules signed in CI
Build / Image RASPI (push) Successful in 2m17s

Build / v4 tests (32- and 64-bit cells) (push) Successful in 8m51s

Ruled by Captain Bob, 2026-11-07: "New root CA on the CI box. Valid
StarshipOS rather than snake oil intermediate."

- ci/pki/make-ca.sh makes the StarshipOS Root CA (its key stays on the CI
  box) and the StarshipOS Capsule Signing intermediate it issues, and
  stores the signing key as the secret CAPSULE_SIGN_KEY.
- The kernel finds the signing certificate by one name,
  CAPSULE_SIGNING_CERT_NAME = pki:starshipos-intermediate.der. The
  certificate itself lands once make-ca.sh has run; until then the
  snakeoil intermediate is in the tree under its old name and the
  capsules check as "no root key" (a warning, as "missing" was).
- mkcapsule refuses a signing key that is not that certificate's.
- SIGN_KEY has no default; acceptance, build, nightly and release set it
  from the secret.
