workflows: add guest OS selection for CI testing

GitHub Actions workflows now support manual guest OS selection to enable
testing distribution-specific fixes across Debian and Fedora guests. The
workflow_dispatch input accepts 'default', 'debian-13', or 'fedora-41',
merging the corresponding guestfs config fragment to override the defconfig's
guest OS choice.

This allows validating distro-specific changes like the locale [1] and
package fixes in previous commits that affects both distributions.
