feat(ssh,telnet): add non-root user account for privesc + enum lure

Real Linux deployments (especially Ubuntu cloud images) ship a non-
root admin user; honeypots that only accept root logins are a tell.
Add a second account on both SSH and Telnet decoys, configurable
via service_cfg keys `user` / `user_password`, defaulting to
`ubuntu` / `admin` so the lure is live on every fresh deploy.

* `decnet/services/{ssh,telnet}.py` — two new ServiceConfigFields
  (`user` string, `user_password` secret) and matching env vars
  (`SSH_USER` / `SSH_USER_PASSWORD`, mirror for telnet) propagated
  via the compose fragment.
* `decnet/templates/ssh/entrypoint.sh` — runtime `useradd -m -s
  /usr/libexec/login-session -G sudo "$SSH_USER"` so the new user
  inherits the same sessrec pty-recording shell as root and lands
  in the sudo group. Privesc attempts (`sudo`) flow through the
  existing sudo-log capture; network-enum from the user's shell
  rides the recorded transcript.
* `decnet/templates/telnet/entrypoint.sh` — same useradd pattern
  (no sudo group — busybox+login telnet image has no sudo
  package; privesc rides `su -` which itself flows through the
  existing PAM auth-helper at /etc/pam.d/login).
* New tests for default + custom user / password + independence
  from root password. Updated the schema-keys assertion to match
  the four-field shape.

The new account is ALSO the natural home for the body-aware
predicates that were previously gated on root-only sessions —
attackers who land on `ubuntu@host` and run network-recon /
privesc commands now generate the same structured TTP-rule
events as root sessions did, captured via the same auth-helper
+ sessrec + sudo-log pipes.
