Roland cdcf771ffa kiwix: a corrupt zim must not bring down the whole server

A corrupt or partial *.zim (e.g. an interrupted download) is rejected by
kiwix-manage ("Cannot add zim ..."). start_kiwix_serve.sh could then leave
Kiwix down and reported a misleading "Could not find any Zim files" — and
if the bad zim was the only one, exit 2 killed the service with no restart.

- Import each zim independently; log and skip a failed add so the remaining
  valid zims are still served.
- Always ensure a library.xml exists (empty if needed) and exec kiwix-serve
  unconditionally, so a corrupt/absent zim never stops the server starting.
- Fix the mount-wait loop, which never incremented COUNT (infinite wait
  instead of a 30s timeout).
- Add MEDIA_DIRECTORY override so the script is testable.
- Add Restart=on-failure to wrolpi-kiwix.service (matches wrolpi-api.service)
  so transient failures self-heal.
- New test harness runs the script with fake kiwix-manage/kiwix-serve shims.

Configuration Files

The files in etc are files necessary to build an on-the-metal WROLPi. Raspberry Pi has more config files because it is assumed to be the main OS. Debian uses the Raspberry Pi configs when possible.
