Niklas Ye 92959cac38 Run the pod as non-root with a read-only filesystem
Part of the same security-hardening pass as the last three commits.
Neither the Dockerfile nor the chart's Deployment set any securityContext
at all, so the container ran as root by default — scratch has no
/etc/passwd for a USER directive to resolve against, so nobody had set one.

Dockerfile now ends with USER 65532:65532 (numeric, since scratch has no
user database; 65532 is the common "nonroot" convention, distroless's own
uid). The chart's Deployment adds a matching pod-level securityContext
(runAsNonRoot, runAsUser/runAsGroup: 65532, seccompProfile: RuntimeDefault)
plus per-container hardening (allowPrivilegeEscalation: false,
capabilities dropped, readOnlyRootFilesystem: true) on both the app
container and the wait-for-postgres init container — neither writes
anything to disk, so the root filesystem can stay read-only.

Verified with helm-lint and a manual `helm template` render of both the
terdut-server and terdut-demo charts. Not yet verified: an actual pod
starting with these in place — readOnlyRootFilesystem is exactly where a
non-obvious write (a temp file, a cache dir) would surface as a crash
rather than a lint error, so that needs a real rollout to confirm.
