Report install start/failure to telemetry API

Add telemetry hooks in misc/build.func: call post_to_api at installation start to capture early or immediately-failing installs, and call post_update_to_api with status "failed" and the install exit code when a container installation fails. This improves visibility into install failures for monitoring/telemetry.
Start install timer and refine error reporting
