werkdock: import the rootfs archive, fall back to load -i on an older werkdock

Werkdock's docker-compat branch names the verb for rootfs archives
'import' (docker import semantics) and keeps 'load -i --name' only as
a compatibility path. Werkator now runs 'werkdock import ARCHIVE IMAGE'
and falls back to 'load -i --name' on exactly the unknown-verb
signature (exit 125, 'unknown command' on stderr), so Werkator and
werkdock can be updated in either order. Any other import failure
propagates as before. The image name stays untagged: it equals
werkator-buildenv-<hash>:latest in werkdock's naming, and the existing
store needs no re-import. PR-doc under docs/prs/ with the PR#000
placeholder.

Layout on the host: the watched repository at `$WERKATOR_PATH/werkator/`, the unpacked runtime at `$WERKATOR_PATH/.werkator/werkator/`, the werkdock binary at `$WERKATOR_PATH/.werkator/bin/werkdock`.
That is the default, not a requirement: `WERKATOR_REPO_DIR`, `WERKATOR_INSTALL_DIR` and `WERKATOR_SANDBOX` bend it to an installation that predates the script, see [Updating an Existing Installation](#updating-an-existing-installation).
The rootfs archive is loaded once per source into werkdock's image store (`~/.werkdock`), shared by every repository of the user.

Fill `git.account`/`git.token` in the machine config when the origin is private, and make the user's services survive logout with `loginctl enable-linger`.
Updates are one command, refused while a build runs (`FORCE=1` overrides):
