rcourtman b2e65f7b3e feat(security): Add SSH output limits and improve host key management
Addresses two security vulnerabilities:

1. SSH Output Size Limits:
   - Prevents memory exhaustion from malicious remote nodes
   - Configurable max_ssh_output_bytes (default 1MB)
   - Stream with io.LimitReader to cap output size
   - New metric: pulse_proxy_ssh_output_oversized_total{node}
   - WARN logging for oversized outputs

2. Improved Host Key Management:
   - Seed host keys from Proxmox cluster store (/etc/pve/priv/known_hosts)
   - Falls back to ssh-keyscan only if Proxmox unavailable (with WARN)
   - Fingerprint change detection with ERROR logging
   - require_proxmox_hostkeys option for strict mode
   - New metric: pulse_proxy_hostkey_changes_total{node}
   - Reduces MITM attack surface significantly

Known hosts manager now normalizes entries, reuses existing fingerprints,
and raises typed HostKeyChangeError when fingerprints differ.
