fix(packaging): make .deb install and upgrade actually work end-to-end (#70)

- Generate internal CA + CA-signed web TLS cert in postinst (port 443 was falling back to plain HTTP because no cert files existed) - Repair stale sqlx migration checksums for upgrades from <= 1.1.7 - Restore health check as advisory only (never fails the install) - Use runuser instead of sudo (sudo is not guaranteed on minimal images) - Replace predictable /tmp password file with mktemp under /run - Frontend assets root-owned read-only (security) - Drop Pre-Depends: postgresql-16 (misuse); drop argon2 dep (unused) - Add openssl, curl, cron, util-linux as proper dependencies

+# Commit 4cac290 (v1.1.8) rewrote migrations 001/003/007/011/016 in place.
+# sqlx::migrate! validates the SHA-384 checksum recorded in _sqlx_migrations
+# against the embedded file on every startup, so any database migrated
+# before 1.1.8 fails with "migration N was previously applied but has been
+# modified" and pm-web crash-loops.
+#
+# The schema produced by old and new versions of these files is identical
+# (the rewrite only added IF-NOT-EXISTS guards), so it is safe to update the
+# recorded checksum to match the current embedded content. We only touch
+# rows whose checksum matches the known OLD value — fresh installs and
+# already-repaired databases are untouched.
+#
+# NEVER edit an applied migration again; append a new one instead.
