stig: ship fapolicyd_tmpfs SELinux module — close overlay exec-guard gap

fapolicyd is the app-allowlisting exec guard for the writable RAM overlay
(dm-verity covers only the read-only erofs lower). It statfs's mounts to decide
which to watch, and tmpfs is in its default watch_fs. This image's root is
systemd.volatile=overlay, so statfs("/") returns the overlay upper — a tmpfs —
and the shipped policy has no 'fapolicyd_t tmpfs_t:filesystem getattr' (no
ordinary host roots on tmpfs). Under enforcing the getattr is DENIED (audit:
dev=tmpfs ino=1 name="/", permissive=0, seen 2026-07-03 on comet-beacon-54),
so fapolicyd can't fully mark the tmpfs mounts (/, /tmp, /dev/shm) and its guard
over the writable overlay is incomplete — a real exec-guard gap, not just SIEM
noise.

Ship a minimal local allow module (allow, not dontaudit — we want fapolicyd to
see the tmpfs), compiled + semodule -i'd in 2c-STIG right after the chrony one.
Registered as deviation #15.

BENCH-VERIFY: the AVC is gone on an enforcing boot AND fapolicyd blocks a non-RPM
executable dropped in /tmp (proves the guard now covers the overlay), trusted
kiosk/appliance binaries still run, and the verity hash is reproducible across
two builds (semodule rebuilds the policy store).
