AlmaLinux VM: report failures through the engine's error handler

The script replaced the engine's error_handler with one that sent the
failed command as the exit code, so every failure reached telemetry as
exit 199 "exit code not reported", without the failed command or
category. Its signal traps sent words instead of codes the same way.

It also ran its own unguarded apt-get update for libguestfs-tools, so a
host with the enterprise repository and no subscription (401) stopped
there. vm_prepare_cloud_image installs the tools itself, tolerating a
repository that fails to update.
