Fix Alpine guest-tools hang on setup-apkrepos

[Narehood]

Summary

setup-apkrepos -c was hanging indefinitely during Alpine initial config (interactive mirror selection), so guest-tools setup never progressed past “Enabling Alpine community repository via setup-apkrepos...”.

Fix

Stop calling setup-apkrepos. Enable vX.Y/community and the tagged @edge community overlay by editing /etc/apk/repositories directly, then continue installing xe-guest-utilities.

Ctrl+C the stuck process on the host, pull this update, and re-run Server Initial Config.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The installer version changes to 1.2.3. Alpine repository setup now edits /etc/apk/repositories directly. Tests reject setup-apkrepos -c, and the recorded installer checksum is updated.

Changes

Alpine repository setup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Direct Alpine repository configuration Installers/serverSetup.sh, Installers/.checksums.sha256	The installer removes the setup-apkrepos -c fallback path, increments SCRIPT_VERSION to 1.2.3, and records the new checksum.
Alpine setup test coverage tests/server-setup-alpine.sh	The test expects direct repository-file editing, rejects obsolete command usage, and removes the obsolete stub.
