librelad a978749ee8 fix(install): bridge cross-owner folder copies + writable install log
Two pre-existing bugs a genuinely-clean rootless install exposes:

copyFolder picked the copy user by destination only: a manager-owned
source (e.g. the install dir) copied into the dockerinstall-owned
containers/ ran the cp AS dockerinstall, which can't read the source ->
"cp: Permission denied". The `local result=$(...)` then masked the
failure (local returns 0) so checkSuccess printed success. This broke
installLibrePortalImageWebUI: the WebUI dir wasn't populated, so
initializeAppVariables couldn't read libreportal.config ("No app name
provided"), compose tags were never substituted, and the WebUI container
couldn't start (user: "USER_DATA"). Fix: when source and destination
owners differ (manager -> container), bridge with a tar pipe — the
manager reads, dockerinstall writes — with pipefail so a read-side
failure is no longer masked.

start.sh created the per-run install log with `sudo touch` (root:root
644) but tee's to it as the manager -> "tee: Permission denied" -> every
install-*.log was empty. Fix: chown the log to the user running the
install so the tee can append.
