2843aafa1a fix(ssh-capture): hide watcher bash argv and sanitize script header
Two leaks remained after the inotifywait argv fix:

1. The bash running journal-relay showed its argv[1] (the script path)
   in /proc/PID/cmdline, producing a line like
     'journal-relay /usr/libexec/udev/journal-relay'
   Apply argv_zap.so to that bash too.

2. argv_zap previously hardcoded PR_SET_NAME to 'kmsg-watch', which was
   wrong for any caller other than inotifywait. The comm name now comes
   from ARGV_ZAP_COMM so each caller can pick its own (kmsg-watch for
   inotifywait, journal-relay for the watcher bash).

3. The capture.sh header started with 'SSH honeypot file-catcher' —
   fatal if an attacker runs 'cat' on it. Rewritten as a plausible
   systemd-journal relay helper; stray 'attacker' / 'honeypot' words
   in mid-script comments stripped too.

f462835373 feat(ssh-capture): LD_PRELOAD shim to zero inotifywait argv
The kmsg-watch (inotifywait) process was the last honest giveaway in
`ps aux` — its watch paths and event flags betrayed the honeypot. The
argv_zap.so shim hooks __libc_start_main, heap-copies argv for the real
main, then memsets the contiguous argv[1..] region to NUL so the kernel's
cmdline reader returns just argv[0].

gcc is installed and purged in the same Docker layer to keep the image
slim. The shim also calls prctl(PR_SET_NAME) so /proc/self/comm mirrors
the argv[0] disguise.
