* fix(snap): update stale snap docs and tests

Previously, the `openshell` snap required the `docker` snap. Now, it
works with any Docker daemon running on the system. Furthermore, the
`snap-declaration` assertion on the `openshell` snap when installed from
the Snap Store causes the `openshell` snap to always connect to the
system `:docker` slot, rather than a slot provided by the `docker` snap.

This commit updates the documentation, including the `description` field in
`snapcraft.yaml`, to ensure that all information is correct and
up-to-date.

Additionally, some tests connected the `openshell:docker` plug to the
`docker` snap's `docker:docker-daemon` slot, which is inconsistent with
how the `openshell` snap operates when installed from the store. Update
those tests to connect to the system `:docker` slot as well.

* feat(snap): install openshell snap via install.sh when snap available

Change `install.sh` to install the `openshell` snap by default when
snapd is installed on the host. This installs the snap from the
`latest/stable` channel, which should match the most up-to-date release
tag on github.

If `OPENSHELL_VERSION=dev` is set for `install.sh`, then it will install
the `openshell` snap from the `latest/edge` channel, which matches the
latest dev release available on github.

The `openshell` snap currently requires Docker in order to function. If
a Docker daemon is already installed on the system, it will be used by
the `openshell` snap. Otherwise, `install.sh` will install the `docker`
snap first, wait for the Docker daemon to be ready, and then install the
`openshell` snap.

Also, update the `release-canary.yml` to split the `ubuntu-snap` job
into `ubuntu-snap-system-docker` and `ubuntu-snap-provisions-docker`,
which test the two aforementioned scenarios. Previously, `ubuntu-snap`
manually installed a given snap artifact as built from CI, but with
these new jobs, it instead uses `install.sh` to install the published
`openshell` snap from the `latest/edge` track, thus matching the
behavior of the other release canary jobs.

Make corresponding changes to the `nix` guest reproducer, documentation,
and tests.

* fix(snap): configure local gateway authentication

The `openshell` snap runs the gateway as a systemd system service, which
runs as root. Thus, the mTLS certs are generated by root and stored in a
root-owned directory to which non-root users do not have access. For
this reason, the snap's `openshell-gateway-wrapper` script sets
`OPENSHELL_DISABLE_TLS=true`.

This commit ensures that the `openshell` snap's gateway allows
unauthenticated local access by writing a default `gateway.toml`
configuration file during the install hook, which runs after the snap is
first installed but before services are started. The config file
contains sets `allow_unauthenticated_users = true`.

* fix(install): configure snap gateway authentication

Recently, a new install hook was added which writes a default config
file for the `openshell` snap to allow unauthenticated local access to
the gateway. This is because the gateway service runs as root and the
mTLS certificates are not accessible to non-root users.

However, the `install.sh` script installs the `openshell` snap from the
snap store, and the published version may not yet have that new install
hook. Or, the user may already have the snap installed, in which case
the install hook does not run. In either case, we need `install.sh` to
ensure that the config file is written to set the gateway auth to
`allow_unauthenticated_users = true`, and then restart the openshell
gateway service.

…H session issuance (#3543)

* perf(server): enable WAL and NORMAL sync for the SQLite store

On-disk SQLite stores ran with sqlx defaults: rollback journal
(`journal_mode=delete`) and `synchronous=FULL`. Every autocommit write paid
several fsyncs and blocked readers while it held the lock, so gateway hot
paths made of many small writes serialized on disk latency. The clearest
case is `openshell forward service`, which mints and revokes an SSH session
token around every forwarded TCP connection: two commits per connection,
tens of milliseconds each on a virtual disk, wall clock linear in the
number of concurrent connections, and enough queueing that bursts hit the
per-sandbox connection cap and get refused.

Switch on-disk databases to WAL with `synchronous=NORMAL`. The mode change
runs once on a single connection before the pool opens: entering WAL needs
exclusive access to the file, so doing it up front means pool connections
only ever re-apply the pragma to a file already in WAL mode, and a failure
surfaces as one clear connect error. The first start after upgrading an
existing database therefore needs the file to be otherwise unopened.
`synchronous` is applied through the connect options on every pooled
connection. In-memory databases keep their defaults. A crash can now roll
back the most recent transactions without corrupting the database, which
is the standard WAL trade-off and fits the single-node scope of the SQLite
backend.

Tests cover a fresh store, an existing rollback-journal file that must be
switched on connect, sidecar permissions, and concurrent readers under a
burst of insert-then-update writes. Architecture, configuration and Helm
docs describe the durability trade-off, the sidecar files, and the local
filesystem requirement.

* fix(server): keep SQLite commits durable except SSH session issuance

WAL with synchronous=NORMAL can roll back acknowledged commits after a
power loss or kernel crash, including SSH session revocations and other
authorization-tightening writes. Run the main pool with synchronous=FULL
so every acknowledged write is durable; in WAL mode that is a single
fsync of the WAL per commit.

Add Store::create_relaxed for inserts that are safe to lose, and use it
only for SSH session issuance: a dropped token just fails validation.
On file-backed SQLite it runs on a dedicated single-connection pool with
synchronous=NORMAL. Both pools share one WAL, so the next FULL commit
also makes earlier relaxed commits durable. Postgres treats it as an
ordinary durable MustCreate insert.

* fix(install): avoid installing incompatible docker snap

The work to land RFC-0012 added new restrictions when interacting with
Docker by setting `NoNewPrivs`. This prevents the `docker` snap from
transitioning its AppArmor profile from `snap.docker.dockerd` to
`docker-default` when it tries to launch a container. Thus, the `docker`
snap is currently incompatible with OpenShell.

This commit prevents `install.sh` from installing the `docker` snap
before installing the `openshell` snap, and instead requires the user to
install a non-snap Docker daemon before proceeding with installing the
snap. Systems without the `snap` command are unaffected, since they
install native packages without checking for the presence of Docker or
other compute providers.
