The RPM canary needs to exercise the install.sh user-service path, but a GitHub Actions job container does not boot with systemd as PID 1. The Fedora RPM canary needs to exercise the install.sh user-service path, but a GitHub Actions job container does not boot with systemd as PID 1. This means the Fedora RPM canary was incomplete as compared to the others. With this change, we run Fedora as a nested privileged systemd container instead, wait for systemd to become reachable, then start the root user manager so systemctl --user works for the RPM gateway unit, achieving parity with the other canary tests.

Summary
The Fedora RPM canary needs to exercise the install.sh user-service path, but a GitHub Actions job container does not boot with systemd as PID 1. This means the Fedora RPM canary was incomplete as compared to the others.
With this change, we run Fedora as a nested privileged systemd container instead, wait for systemd to become reachable, then start the root user manager so systemctl --user works for the RPM gateway unit, achieving parity with the
other canary tests.
