fix(restic/esh-docker-vm): stop dumping paperless's Postgres from this host

Operator decision. paperless-ngx's database lives on esh-vm-db and is backed
up at the source by that host's fail-closed pg_dumpall. esh-docker-vm's
second copy had failed auth every night since 2026-04-24 behind a WARN. Its
`> paperless.pg_dump` redirect left a 0-byte file in every snapshot
(confirmed in snapshot 6ec9f74f), which looked like a dump but held nothing.

The block was the only consumer of /etc/restic/dbcreds.env, so the creds
loader is gone and the template dbcreds.env.example is deleted. The host
file was moved (not deleted) to /var/lib/restic/repair-20260923/.
Paperless's media volumes are still captured under /var/lib/docker/volumes.

Also fixes ownership. elway's sudo upload does scp-as-user then `sudo mv`,
so the hook deployed at 08:04 landed infra-ops:infra-ops even though root
executes it. Both esh-docker-vm playbooks now chown it back to root and
verify root:root 700.

Verified: the live hook hash matches canonical (e0d3ddcef1bddf43), and
the manual backup saved snapshot decfae71 with 3 staged dumps and no WARN
lines.
