Subject: cmake: fix kernel module installation

Install each module from its real build directory, propagate staged install roots, and fail when kbuild modules_install fails. Add a rootless CTest and CI regression for successful and failed installs.

Best practices followed:

Use the standard CMake DESTDIR and kbuild INSTALL_MOD_PATH staging interfaces:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/envvar/DESTDIR.html
https://docs.kernel.org/kbuild/modules.html#install-mod-path

Check child command status with execute_process RESULT_VARIABLE:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/execute_process.html

Register repeatable tests with CTest add_test:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/add_test.html
