Anthony Ettinger 06bc5631d8 fix(pods): bind-mount host public_html into the pod so ~/public_html is served
A member's pod home (/home/dev) is a named container volume, but Caddy serves
<name>.<host> from the host path <data>/users/<name>/public_html. The two were
disconnected, so editing ~/public_html/index.html in the pod never changed the
served page — contradicting the on-screen "edit ~/public_html to make it yours"
instruction.

Bind-mount <data>/users/<user>/public_html at /home/dev/public_html when pods
start. The host tree is created if absent so the mount source exists, and under
the docker fallback (uid 1000) the one-shot init container now also chowns the
bind path; rootless podman maps container root to the host service user that
already owns the tree, so no chown is needed there.

Detect now takes the host users dir; pass "" to disable the bind.

// Package pods gives paid members a personal Linux container over SSH
// (`ssh pod@host`) — "run shit in a docker-like" without root on the host.
//
// Engine preference: rootless Podman (daemonless; container root maps to an
// unprivileged host uid via user namespaces), falling back to Docker.
//
// Capability profile differs by engine. Under rootless podman the host is
// protected by the userns mapping itself, so pods keep podman's default
// capability set — the pod's root behaves like real root (apt, chown, su,
// binding :80, ping). Under docker a breakout is host-root, so docker pods run
// non-root (uid 1000) with cap-drop ALL + no-new-privileges. Either way the SSH
// user never touches the host OS. cpu/mem/pids limits apply to both.
