Daniel Hilst 445b755d8e test(mknb): capture a Genesis copy failing without failing mknb ...

mknb stages the Genesis payload before building a netboot image, and those copies are the
only point at which it learns that an installed Genesis image is unusable. The legacy branch
runs two of them and keeps only the second exit status, so an unreadable root tree is
invisible: mknb exits 0 having built an initramfs from nothing, and the node never boots
with no error naming the cause. When the kernel copy is the one that fails, the message
blames the root tree instead.

Extract the staging decision as stage_genesis_payload, preserving today's behaviour exactly,
so the outcome can be driven with an injected runner instead of a real Genesis tree.

The test fails on this commit, 2 of 10: 'an unreadable root tree fails the step' and 'the
failure names the kernel, not the root tree'.
