anti 39dafaf384 feat(ssh-stealth): hide capture artifacts via XOR+gzip entrypoint blob ...

The /opt/emit_capture.py, /opt/syslog_bridge.py, and
/usr/libexec/udev/journal-relay files were plaintext and world-readable
to any attacker root-shelled into the SSH honeypot — revealing the full
capture logic on a single cat.

Pack all three into /entrypoint.sh as XOR+gzip+base64 blobs at build
time (_build_stealth.py), then decode in-memory at container start and
exec the capture loop from a bash -c string. No .py files under /opt,
no journal-relay file under /usr/libexec/udev, no argv_zap name
anywhere. The LD_PRELOAD shim is installed as
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev-shared.so.1 — sits next to the real
libudev.so.1 and blends into the multiarch layout.

A 1-byte random XOR key is chosen at image build so a bare
'base64 -d | gunzip' probe on the visible entrypoint returns binary
noise instead of readable Python.

Docker-dependent tests live under tests/docker/ behind a new 'docker'
pytest marker (excluded from the default run, same pattern as fuzz /
live / bench).
