Enabling unprivileged user namespaces for rootless widens the kernel
attack surface reachable by unprivileged users (a known source of LPE
CVEs). Pair it with three distro-portable, low-impact sysctls that close
the surfaces those exploit chains rely on: kernel.kptr_restrict=2 (hide
kernel pointers), kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=1 (block cross-process
ptrace), net.core.bpf_jit_harden=2 (harden the JIT). Added as a separate
guarded LIBREPORTAL KERNEL HARDENING block so it's clearly deliberate and
independently idempotent.

Switch the rootless network stack from slirp4netns+builtin to pasta+
implicit (faster and propagates the real client source IP). The earlier
pasta+builtin attempt bricked the daemon because rootlesskit rejects
mismatched net/port-driver pairs; expose a single CFG_ROOTLESS_NET knob
(pasta default, slirp4netns fallback) and derive the matching port
driver in-script so an invalid combo can't be configured. Disable
userland-proxy in the rootless daemon.json (merged, not clobbered) so
containers see the real source IP. Both driver binaries are always
installed, so switching is a config flip + rootless re-setup.

The rootless dockerd override forced NET=pasta + PORT_DRIVER=builtin, which
rootlesskit rejects ('pasta requires port driver none or implicit'), so the
daemon failed to start every time (the real cause behind 'rootless socket not
found'). Use slirp4netns + builtin (valid, still skips the userspace
port-handler). Verified: daemon now comes up, docker Server 29.5.2 responds.

dockerCommandRunInstallUser ssh'd to <user>@localhost, but nothing set up an
SSH server/keys/authorized_keys, so every rootless setup command (daemon
install, systemctl --user) silently no-op'd. Replace with 'sudo -u <user> env
…' that sets XDG_RUNTIME_DIR / DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS / DOCKER_HOST / PATH
explicitly; linger keeps the user systemd + /run/user/<uid> alive so
systemctl --user works. No SSH server, no keys, less attack surface, and
sudo -u to an unprivileged user is not a root escalation.

useradd was missing its login-name argument (and -m), so it failed — silently,
because local result=$(...) swallowed the exit code and checkSuccess reported
success. The rootless install user was therefore never created, which cascaded
into 'invalid user dockerinstall' and a daemon that never came up. Pass the
username + -m (subordinate uid/gid ranges come from login.defs), unmasked.

Single place that decides how a privileged op runs by Docker mode:
- runFileOp / runFileWrite: /docker data-plane ops — rooted uses sudo (identical
to today), rootless runs as the unprivileged install user (no root).
- runSystem: genuine system-admin ops, sudo in both modes, funnelled here so it
can later be confined to a scoped sudoers allowlist.
Call sites converted to these are byte-for-byte unchanged under rooted, so
existing/live boxes can't regress; rootless gets the de-privileged path.

dockerInstallApp built the installer name by upper-casing only the first
letter of the slug (libreportal -> installLibreportal), which can't match
camelCase installers like installLibrePortal. After the EasyDocker ->
LibrePortal rename this broke `libreportal` installs with
"installLibreportal: command not found".
If the naive name isn't a defined function, resolve it case-insensitively
against the function table (compgen -A function), and fail with a clear
message if nothing matches. Works for any compound brand/app name.
