dockerCopyBuildContext rsync'd the install template into the container dir
with -a, which preserves owner/group — so the deployed WebUI tree (frontend/
included) inherited the repo clone's owner (the human user, uid ~1000) on
every install. The trailing chown used the $docker_install_user global, which
is stale/empty in this context, so it silently no-op'd and uid 1000 survived
(visible as frontend/ owned by 1000 with the template's mtime).
Add --no-owner --no-group so the copy doesn't carry source ownership, and
chown via the config-authoritative dockerContainerOwner (rooted -> manager,
rootless -> docker install user) through runSystem. The deployed tree now
lands owned by the mode's container owner.

Reinstall test on Debian 12 surfaced three rootless-only breakages (rooted
was byte-identical/fine):
1. pasta blocked by Debian's passt AppArmor profile (DENIED ptrace read ->
can't open container netns -> rootless dockerd never starts). Default
CFG_ROOTLESS_NET back to slirp4netns (reliable); pasta stays selectable
for hosts that relax the profile.
2. de-sudo mis-assigned helpers by owner. /docker management layer (apps DB
chowned to libreportal by install_sqlite, /docker/logs) is MANAGER-owned,
not dockerinstall. Add runInstallWrite; move apps-DB sqlite3 -> runInstallOp
and /docker/logs appends -> runInstallWrite. Revert ownership-SETUP scripts
(libreportal_folders, app_folder) to runSystem — they must run as root to
establish ownership during install. Container files (/docker/containers/<app>)
stay runFileOp.
3. kernel hardening sysctls written to /etc/sysctl/99-custom.conf, which
'sysctl --system' does not read -> never applied. Write them to
/etc/sysctl.d/99-libreportal-hardening.conf instead.
