fix(frank-dragoon): stage the NPU lane inside the payload mount

The lane's first boot died at container init, not at the engine:

  runc create failed: ... create mountpoint for /models/npu mount:
  mkdirat .../merged/models/npu: read-only file system

The image ships no /models, and the serve script binds the payload dir
there read-only, so a nested `-v $NPU_DIR:/models/npu:ro` had to create
its own mountpoint underneath a read-only parent — impossible. The
engine's own entrypoint confirms the container path is fixed: it rejects
HALOGEN_NPU_DIR outright ("our NPU models live under /models/npu/<id>/").

Fix is the mount shape, not the engine: FRANK_DRAGOON_NPU_DIR now lives
inside FRANK_DRAGOON_MODEL_DIR, so the payload's single read-only mount
puts the files at /models/npu/<id>/ by itself and the nested bind is
gone. Verified on the running container: after the move, `podman exec
frank-dragoon-halogen ls /models/npu/qwen3-embedding-0.6b` answers with
the staged tree while the lane is still armed off.

Both gates refuse the old shape by name (serve + deployer parity) so a
future payload swap that moves the model dir cannot reintroduce a crash
that lands after the deployer has already stopped the running unit.
