NeilandClaude 15a1ff75fc fix(ssh): refuse a second Orca server from a host cloned with the same machine-id (#33775)
* fix(ssh): keep machines cloned with one machine-id off each other's Orca server data (#32918)

Machines cloned from one image share /etc/machine-id. On a shared home both
got the same machine key, so both managed servers ran in ~/.orca, and each
judged the other's PID locally and reclaimed its live instance lock.

- Record the claiming hostname in the shared-home claim and machine homes;
  a Linux machine whose machine-id matches but hostname differs gets its own
  machine home. Older claims fall back to data-root owner records.
- orcad's instance lock no longer treats a holder with this machine-id but
  another hostname as local, and refuses to start when an older clone's
  profile-state owner record shows it is using the data root.

* fix(ssh): keep a clone's established machine home, and let a host renamed within its boot restart

* fix(ssh): call a machine a clone only with positive evidence

A renamed host keeps its boot and a local disk has one machine, so only
another host and boot with this machine-id on a shared filesystem counts as
a clone, on Linux only. When both clones already write the login home, stay
and let the server lock refuse the second writer. Drop the machine-home
owner markers.

* fix(ssh): refuse a second server from a cloned host instead of relocating data

Drop the inferred clone relocation. orcad refuses to start when a holder or
profile-state owner on a shared filesystem reports this machine-id from another
hostname and boot, naming that host and the fixes. Add ORCA_MACHINE_NAME, an
explicit host-env name that gives a managed SSH host its own machine home.

* fix(ssh): judge cloned machines by boot and freshness, not hostname

A peer with this machine-id is another live machine only when its record is
from another boot, was written after this boot began, and is fresh. The orcad
lock now heartbeats its mtime. That drops the hostname test, which renames
broke and same-hostname clones evaded. It also drops the participant-owner
precheck that stale records could block forever, and keeps profile-state
owner cleanup from deleting a live clone's owner. stale-lock reclaim uses the
same rule. ORCA_MACHINE_NAME now rejects invalid names and keeps a host on
the home its running server or own machine-id already uses. Hints are
role-specific and aimed only at the clone.

* fix(orcad): stale-lock reclaim waits out the lock freshness window

* fix(ssh): ORCA_MACHINE_NAME always selects its own home

Inferring which home to keep from running owners flipped after shutdown or
reboot and couldn't see macOS boots. A name now deterministically selects
its home, and a multi-line name is refused.

* fix(ssh): refuse a whitespace-only ORCA_MACHINE_NAME, and pin reclaim test clocks
