feat(setup): warn when running on a Google Compute Engine VM

NanoClaw is known to not run reliably on GCE instances. Detect via DMI
during pre-flight (between the spec check and root warning) and let the
user abort before sinking time into bootstrap.

# NanoClaw is known to not run reliably on Google Compute Engine instances.
# Warn early — before the root check or bootstrap spinner — so users can
# switch providers before sinking time into setup. Detection uses DMI
# (no network round-trip), which on GCE reports "Google" / "Google
# Compute Engine".
