librelad 15fc42c858 refactor(layout): consolidate out-of-/docker files + fix sysctl dir
Organise the system footprint outside /docker:
- All LibrePortal executables now live together in /usr/local/lib/libreportal/
  (root:root): the 7 root helpers AND the CLI wrapper. /usr/local/bin/libreportal
  becomes a symlink onto $PATH. run_privileged._runRootHelper, init.sh
  (initRootHelpers + scoped-sudoers Cmnd_Alias + command setup) all point there.
  The wrapper is now root-owned too (manager can't tamper with its entrypoint).
- Fix a real bug: rootless sysctl settings were written to /etc/sysctl/99-custom.conf,
  a dir  does NOT read, so net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start /
  kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone never persisted across reboot. Moved to
  /etc/sysctl.d/99-libreportal-rootless.conf (the existing
  reload now actually applies them). Consistent libreportal* naming.
- Drop dead fqdn_file=/root/libreportal-fqdn.txt global (never used).
- Add FOOTPRINT.md: a manifest of every file LibrePortal places outside /docker
  (doubles as an uninstall checklist).

# LibrePortal system footprint (outside `/docker`)
Everything LibrePortal *is* lives under `/docker` (app data, configs, the install
tree, the database). This file catalogues the few things it must place **outside**
`/docker` to integrate with the host. The OS dictates where most of these live —
sudoers, systemd units, sysctl, and `$PATH` entries can only be read from their
fixed locations, so they can't all sit in one folder. What we control, we keep
together in **`/usr/local/lib/libreportal/`**; everything else is named
`libreportal*` so the whole footprint is greppable and removable.
## Executables — `/usr/local/lib/libreportal/` (root:root, our own dir)
| File | Owner | Purpose |
|------|-------|---------|
| `libreportal` | root | the CLI wrapper (symlinked onto `$PATH`, see below) |
| `libreportal-ownership` | root | reconcile the `/docker` ownership model |
| `libreportal-dns` | root | edit `/etc/resolv.conf` (nameservers) |
| `libreportal-ssh-access` | root | manage admin `authorized_keys` + sshd `PasswordAuthentication` |
| `libreportal-socket` | root | docker-socket read perms (type switcher) |
| `libreportal-svc` | root | generate/install the task-processor systemd unit |
| `libreportal-bininstall` | root | install the restic/kopia backup-engine binaries |
| `libreportal-appcfg` | root | rewrite AdGuard/CrowdSec/ownCloud config files |
These are the scoped-sudoers trust boundary: root-owned in a root-owned dir, so the
manager can `sudo` them but can't modify them. Source of truth: `scripts/system/`
in the repo; installed by `init.sh``initRootHelpers` (re-installed only on a
reinstall, not by the quick-deploy).
## OS-mandated locations (must live where the OS reads them)
| Path | Owner | Purpose |
|------|-------|---------|
| `/usr/local/bin/libreportal` | root | **symlink**`/usr/local/lib/libreportal/libreportal` (puts the CLI on `$PATH`) |
| `/etc/sudoers.d/libreportal` | root | scoped least-privilege grant for the manager |
| `/etc/systemd/system/libreportal.service` | root | the task-processor service (`User=libreportal`) |
| `/etc/sysctl.d/99-libreportal-hardening.conf` | root | kernel LPE-surface hardening |
| `/etc/sysctl.d/99-libreportal-rootless.conf` | root | rootless sysctl settings + "rootless configured" marker |
## Third-party tools we install (not ours, conventional home)
`/usr/local/bin/{restic,kopia,ufw-docker,docker-compose}` — installed on demand
(restic/kopia via the `libreportal-bininstall` helper). `/usr/local/bin` is the
correct home for these; left under their own names.
## System users
`libreportal` (the manager) and `dockerinstall` (the rootless docker user), each
with a home under `/home/`. The rootless daemon config lives at
`~dockerinstall/.config/docker/daemon.json`.
## Uninstall sketch
```
sudo systemctl disable --now libreportal.service
sudo rm -f /etc/systemd/system/libreportal.service /etc/sudoers.d/libreportal
sudo rm -f /etc/sysctl.d/99-libreportal-*.conf
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libreportal /usr/local/bin/libreportal
# optional: the backup-engine binaries, the users, and /docker itself
```
