Remove potential leftovers from previous runs
* ssh-keygen will interactively ask the user if the key already exists
* debvm-create will refuse to overwrite an existing image
commit c849e61cefdfc8b7be5e5fc2d98668672c268f7b
Author: Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues <josch@mister-muffin.de>
Date: Tue Aug 25 09:41:58 2026 +0200
tests/create-and-run.sh: use $DEBVM_TMPDIR for ssh_id and test.ext4
The default is the current directory as before.
Setting DEBVM_TMPDIR allows one to choose a different location.
I'm running tests/create-and-run.sh with unshared user namespace and the
unshared user cannot write to my $HOME, so I need ssh_id and test.ext4
to be stored elsewhere.

Merge branch 'archnamings' into 'main'
debvm-run: rename architecture variables in preparation for Hurd
See merge request helmutg/debvm!73
commit 14fab06b937d1943b75737cf1ea4b7d2eb0d2238
Author: Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues <josch@mister-muffin.de>
Date: Sat Aug 22 20:06:42 2026 +0200
debvm-run: rename architecture variables in preparation for Hurd
* Instead of Debian architecture names, use Debian CPU names.
* Variables are renamed:
ARCHITECTURE -> HOST_ARCH_CPU
KERNELARCHCPU -> KERNEL_ARCH_CPU
VMARCH -> KERNEL_ARCH_CPU
* There is no longer a distinction between KERNELARCHCPU and VMARCH as
that distinction was only kept to choose whether KVM should be
enabled or not. This is now done earlier and avoids an extra
variable.

debvm-create: Set default init system depending on the OS

With this change, when no init system was specified, systemd will be
chosen if the kernel of the vm is Linux and sysvinit otherwise.
