Move the last runtime-critical root file-primitive subsystems behind
root-owned helpers so the type switcher + task service work under a scoped
sudoers:
- scripts/system/libreportal-socket: {rootless|rooted} {on|off} chmod of
the docker sockets (paths computed from config, not caller-supplied;
exit 3 = absent so the *_found flags come from its exit code)
- scripts/system/libreportal-svc: GENERATES + installs the systemd unit
from config (mode/uid/baked manager) — never accepts unit content from
the caller (arbitrary unit = root). Idempotent install/enable/restart.
- ownership helper: add db-own + app-file <app> <relpath> actions
- run_privileged: runSocket / runSvc
- set_socket_permissions -> runSocket; webui_install_systemd -> runSvc
(+ crontab cleanup runs as the manager directly, no sudo -u self)
- before_start: db chown -> runOwnership db-own; traefik cert/yml ->
runOwnership app-file (retires updateFileOwnership/changeRootOwnedFile)
- init.sh installs all five helpers

The install/start paths and the switch reconcile managed /docker ownership
separately, so a fresh install produced different ownership than a post-switch
state — the root cause of the rootless 'touch: Permission denied' storm.
Consolidate onto the reconcile model:
- dockerContainerOwner(): single definition of the mode's container owner
(rooted -> manager, rootless -> config-authoritative docker install user).
- reconcileContainersTopOwnership(): owns + makes traversable the structural
containers/ top dir; now also run by the switch reconcile (previously only
the install pass set it, so a rootless->rooted switch left it stale).
- reconcileWebuiDirOwnership(): now uses dockerContainerOwner.
- reconcileDockerOwnership(): calls both helpers.
- fixFolderPermissions(): slimmed to the +x traversal bits; its ad-hoc
containers/ chown is now the shared helper.
- fixPermissionsBeforeStart(): drop changeRootOwnedFilesAndFolders (a
pre-de-sudo band-aid that only fixed root-owned files and ran contrary to
the don't-touch-third-party-data rule); reconcile the WebUI dir via the
shared helper instead. Delete the now-unused root_files_folders.sh and
regenerate the source arrays.
