Update Debian version recommendations based on current release status

Browse source 
DEBIAN VERSION UPDATES:
- Debian 12 (Bookworm) is now oldstable with outdated OSTree packages
- Debian 13 (Trixie) is now stable and recommended for bootc
- Debian 14 (Forky) is testing with latest OSTree libraries
- Update all Containerfiles to use debian:trixie-slim

OSTREE COMPATIBILITY:
- Document OSTree version requirements for each Debian release
- Add backporting guide for newer OSTree libraries from Forky to Trixie
- Explain benefits of newer OSTree (bootupd support, better bootc compatibility)
- Update compatibility matrix with current Debian status

RECOMMENDATIONS:
- Recommend Debian 13 (Trixie) as minimum for production use
- Suggest Debian 14 (Forky) for latest OSTree libraries
- Provide backporting instructions for Trixie users
- Update testing matrix to reflect current Debian releases

This addresses the critical issue that Debian 12's OSTree packages
are too old for modern bootc/bootupd requirements.
