anti b0e00a6cc4 fix(ssh-capture): drop relay FIFO, rsyslog→/proc/1/fd/1 direct
The named pipe at /run/systemd/journal/syslog-relay had two problems
beyond its argv leak: any root-in-container process could (a) `cat`
the pipe and watch the live SIEM feed, and (b) write to it and inject
forged log lines. Since an attacker with a shell is already root
inside the honeypot, file permissions can't fix it.

Point rsyslog's auth/user actions directly at /proc/1/fd/1 — the
container-stdout fd Docker attached to PID 1 — and delete the
mkfifo + cat relay from the entrypoint. No pipe on disk, nothing to
read, nothing to inject, and one fewer cloaked process in `ps`.
