Update default kernel to Kata Containers 3.32.0 debug build (#2143)

- Switch the default guest kernel from vmlinux-6.18.15-186
  (kata-static-3.28.0) to the newer version and variant
  vmlinux-6.18.35-197-debug (kata-static-3.32.0).
- The debug variant enables eBPF, kprobes, uprobes, ftrace
  and BTF (kata-containers/kata-containers#12567).
