fix: improve feed update error handling and validation

Major improvements to feed management across all workflows:

1. **build-openwrt-packages.yml:**
   - Removed 'base' feed (not needed for SDK)
   - Added comprehensive error handling with retry logic
   - Verify feed directories exist after update
   - Fail fast if feeds don't update successfully
   - Log feed update/install output for debugging

2. **build-secubox-images.yml & test-validate.yml:**
   - Added feed verification after update/install
   - Capture logs for debugging feed issues
   - Exit with error if critical feeds missing
   - Show feed directory sizes for verification

Key changes:
- Feeds are now validated to exist before continuing
- Better error messages when feeds fail to update
- Logs captured for troubleshooting
- Workflow fails immediately if feeds missing

This should fix the 'find: feeds/packages: No such file or directory'
error by ensuring feeds are actually cloned successfully.
