librelad 27ad517626 feat(backup): per-app strategy override (advanced, context-aware)
Adds CFG_<APP>_BACKUP_STRATEGY (default auto) so an app's backup strategy can
be overridden from its Advanced config tab, taking precedence over the global
default. Added to the 10 live-capable apps, so the dropdown's 'live' option only
appears where it actually works.

- backupResolveStrategy now checks the per-app override before the global value.
- backupAppLiveCapable / backupAppStrategyOptions expose capability + the valid
  option set; predicate helpers hardened with explicit returns so they behave
  identically with or without shell errexit.
- BACKUP_STRATEGY field mapping (select, advanced) renders the dropdown.

# Live, consistent database backups.
#
# A file-level snapshot of a running database is "torn" — pages can be
# half-written when restic reads them, so the restored copy may not even
# mount. The fix is a *logical* dump taken while the service keeps running:
# mysqldump --single-transaction / pg_dump / sqlite3 .backup all produce a
# transactionally-consistent file with zero downtime. We snapshot that dump
# (and exclude the raw data dir, which is now redundant and unreliable), then
# replay it on restore.
#
# Apps declare their databases as compose labels so the metadata travels with
# the app (the compose is always copied to the install dir and always lives in
# the snapshot). One label per database:
#
# labels:
# libreportal.backup.db: "<kind>:<container>:<datadir>:<path>"
#
# kind mysql | mariadb | postgres | sqlite
# container service container_name to `docker exec` into (server engines)
# datadir app-dir-relative folder holding raw DB files, excluded on live
# path app-dir-relative path to the sqlite file (sqlite only)
#
# Examples:
# "mysql:nextcloud-db:db_data:" MariaDB/MySQL in nextcloud-db, raw db_data/ excluded
# "postgres:mastodon-db:postgres_data:" Postgres in mastodon-db
# "sqlite:::data/gitea.db" sqlite file at data/gitea.db
#
# An app with no database can still opt into live snapshots (its files are
# static enough to capture safely) with:
# labels:
# libreportal.backup.live: "true"
# Subdir (relative to the app dir) where consistent dumps are written. It sits
# at the app root so it is never inside an excluded datadir, and rides along in
# the snapshot.

# Emit one "kind:container:datadir:path" line per declared database, read from
# the *installed* compose so it reflects what is actually deployed.
