fix(ssh-template): drop sshd/pam_unix native chatter at rsyslog
OpenSSH's native syslog ("Failed password", "Connection from",
"Connection closed by …") and the pam_unix lines emitted from sshd's
PAM stack add no signal beyond what auth-helper already captures as
structured login_attempt events. They cluttered the dashboard and
arrived without an SD wrapper, forcing prose-IP heuristics in the
collector.
Add a `:programname, isequal, "sshd" stop` rule above the forwarding
actions in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-journal-forward.conf. pam_unix lines from
sshd inherit programname=sshd so the same rule covers both. sudo /
login / su pam_unix lines keep flowing (different programname), so
post-login privilege escalation telemetry is preserved.
