Description

Originally posted by @jclulow in https://github.com/oxidecomputer/omicron/pull/7244#discussion_r1884622140

We often copy files like SMF manifests or schema files into the Omicron zone tarballs. Some of those seem to go into surprising locations, as Josh noted in the comment above. We might want to audit and move those to more suitable places.

Start by locating how Omicron zone tarballs assemble copied SMF manifests and schema files, then inspect the resulting file hierarchy for surprising destinations. Done means the affected files are audited and moved to suitable locations, with the relevant build or packaging checks passing.
