Add QEMU testing and real bootc binary integration

- Added --test-with-qemu and --qemu-timeout options
- Implemented QEMU testing functionality to validate disk images boot
- Replaced placeholder bootc script with real binary download from registry
- Added fallback to placeholder script if download fails
- Updated todo.txt to reflect 90% completion status
- Added test_example.sh to demonstrate new functionality

Key improvements:
- QEMU testing validates boot process with timeout and log analysis
- Real bootc binary downloads from particle-os registry
- Project status updated from 85% to 90% complete
- Only remaining work: testing with real container images
