Version-stamp squashfs filename and restrict live-boot media selection

Squashfs versioning:
- ISO now contains filesystem-v<VERSION>.squashfs instead of the generic
  filesystem.squashfs, making it immediately visible which build is
  running (visible in /run/live/medium/live/ at boot time).
- Full build path: rename filesystem.squashfs → filesystem-v*.squashfs
  after lb build, before lb binary_checksums/binary_iso.
- Fast path: find and unpack whatever filesystem*.squashfs exists, repack
  as the new versioned name, remove the old file, update the ISO.
- needs_full_build: accept any filesystem*.squashfs so version changes
  alone don't force a full rebuild.

Media selection hardening:
- Add live-media=/dev/disk/by-label/<LABEL> to the kernel boot line in
  addition to the existing live-media-label=<LABEL>. live-boot will now
  open exactly the labeled device rather than scanning all block devices,
  preventing accidental use of squashfs files from local disks or
  stale virtual media attached via IPMI.
