examples/demo: fix two real bugs this exact demo just hit live

1. Renamed every object this demo creates (TerdutServer, Postgres
   Secret/Deployment/Service) from terdut-demo[-postgres] to
   terdut-operator-demo[-postgres]. The user applied this kit into the
   already-live "terdut-demo" namespace -- the real operator exercise
   from earlier in this repo's own history -- and this demo's own
   TerdutServer/Postgres objects shared that exact name. The TerdutServer
   apply was rejected outright (DatabaseSpec's own CEL rule: adding dsn
   while the live object already had postgresClusterRef violates "exactly
   one of" and the API server refused it), and the real Postgres Service
   was never touched (confirmed live: still Zalando's own spilo selector,
   endpoint still the real StatefulSet pod) -- but the Postgres Secret and
   Deployment, having no such protection, were created as brand new,
   extra, crash-looping objects sitting right next to the real ones.
   Prefixing every name this demo creates means a repeat of this exact
   mistake no longer collides with anything, documented directly in
   README.md now.

2. The actual crash itself, independent of (1): capabilities.drop: ["ALL"]
   (added responding to a PodSecurity "restricted" warning) took
   CAP_CHOWN/CAP_FOWNER away from the root user postgres:17-alpine's own
   entrypoint needs to chown/chmod the data directory before it drops
   privileges itself -- confirmed in a real crashed pod's logs: `chmod:
   /var/run/postgresql: Operation not permitted`. kubectl apply
   --dry-run=server, which is as far as this got verified before, only
   checks admission policy; it was never actually booted. Removed the
   capability drop and verified for real this time: applied just
   00-postgres.yaml alone into a disposable namespace, waited for the pod
   to go Ready, read its logs ("database system is ready to accept
   connections"), then deleted that namespace.
