feat(debian-13-vm): add cloud-init selection dialog for default and advanced settings

Add select_cloud_init() function consistent with docker-vm.sh that prompts the user to choose between Cloud-Init (genericcloud image) and nocloud (with auto-login) in both default and advanced settings. Previously, default settings hardcoded CLOUD_INIT=no without asking.
fix(debian-13-vm): disable systemd-firstboot and add autologin via virt-customize
