SDK: fromFedoraImage/fromAlpineImage/fromArchImage helpers (#1612)

## What
Adds the missing non-Debian base-image convenience helpers to **both
SDKs**, mirroring the existing
`fromUbuntuImage`/`fromDebianImage`/`fromPythonImage`/`fromNodeImage`/`fromBunImage`:

- **JS/TS** (`packages/js-sdk`): `fromFedoraImage(variant?)`,
`fromAlpineImage(variant?)`, `fromArchImage(variant?)` + unit tests
- **Python** (`packages/python-sdk`): `from_fedora_image(variant)`,
`from_alpine_image(variant)`, `from_arch_image(variant)` + sync/async
unit tests

## Why
This is the **customer-facing half** of infra **#3381** (distro-aware
template provisioning). The engine now builds + boots
Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora/RHEL-family/Arch/Alpine on real KVM; before this PR
the SDK exposed distro helpers for the Debian family only, so
Fedora/Alpine/Arch were reachable only via the generic `fromImage()`.
These give them first-class parity.

## Verification (honest)
- **New helper unit tests pass locally** — JS `fromDistroImages.test.ts`
→ 6/6 green (`vitest`, no auth). Python `test_from_distro_images.py`
(sync + async) committed.
- **Full integration suite**: requires E2B API keys — fails locally with
`AuthenticationError` **identically on `main`** (215/187/29), i.e.
**zero regression** from this change; CI runs it with secrets.
- Lint scoped to the touched files.

## Not in this PR
The public **docs** still state *"only Debian-based images …
Alpine/RedHat not supported"* — but that text lives in
**`e2b-dev/docs`**, not this monorepo, so it's a **separate docs PR**
(being opened against `e2b-dev/docs`). Flagging so this + that land
together.

+Add `fromFedoraImage`, `fromAlpineImage`, and `fromArchImage` base-image helpers to the `Template` builder (`from_fedora_image`, `from_alpine_image`, `from_arch_image` in the Python SDK), alongside the existing `fromUbuntuImage`/`fromDebianImage`/etc. Templates can now start from Fedora, Alpine, and Arch base images (the orchestrator identifies the distro from `/etc/os-release`). Fedora and Alpine default to pinned tags (`fedora:44`, `alpine:3.24`) so builds stay reproducible; Arch defaults to `latest` because it is a rolling release and provisioning runs `pacman -Syu` regardless.
