Fix: size limit with disk image set

[brsmnv]

A local disk volume that sets both image and size ignored the size. This resulted in a disk at the size of the image rootfs while the requested size got ignored.. See the issue for the full write-up.

Proposed Changes

• localdisk.Apply passes both options when image and size are set.
• Exec.Create extends the file to the requested size with os.Truncate.
• Guardrails and tests (cannot request undersized volumes or truncate the image)

Leaving Size unset preserves the current behaviour and the rootfs is matched.

Fixes #776

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added support for configuring the size of local disks created from boot images.
  • Disk images are automatically expanded to the requested size when applicable.
  • Empty disks receive a default size when no size is specified.

• Bug Fixes

  • Prevented disk creation when the requested size is smaller than the source image.
  • Added validation requiring a size for disks created without a source image.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Local disk creation now applies requested sizes when a source image is present. Raw disk creation expands source-backed files, rejects sizes smaller than the source, and requires sizes for empty disks. Tests cover raw creation and a 10GB machine boot disk.

Changes

Source-backed disk sizing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Raw disk sizing and validation internal/raw/raw_exec.go, internal/raw/raw_exec_test.go	Exec.Create expands source-backed disks to the requested size, rejects smaller sizes, and requires a size for empty disks. Tests cover successful creation, rejection cases, and resulting file sizes.
Local disk size propagation internal/plugins/volume/localdisk/localdisk.go, internal/controllers/machine_controller_test.go	Local disk creation passes source and size options together. The machine controller test verifies that a boot disk with a 10GB limit creates a 10GB file.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0ed78

Source-backed disks requested below the image size can leave an incorrectly sized disk that is reused on reconciliation, violating the requested volume configuration. The new machine test can also retain machine and disk resources, so these issues should be resolved before merge.

Inline comments:
In `@internal/controllers/machine_controller_test.go`:
- Around line 169-170: After the successful machine creation assertions,
register DeferCleanup(cleanupMachine(machine.ID)) so the created machine and its
associated resources are removed when the test completes.

In `@internal/raw/raw_exec.go`:
- Around line 44-45: Ensure the size validation in the raw disk creation flow
occurs before copyFile creates the destination, or remove filename before
returning the existing oversized-source error. Update the rejection test to
verify the destination is absent, preventing localdisk reconciliation from
accepting a disk with the wrong size.
