restic: drop scheduled forget across all 6 hosts

Forget against an --append-only rest-server fails every night (delete
ops blocked). The resulting daily failure cluttered service status and
logs without ever actually retiring old snapshots. Schedule is now
removed from the forget block in all six profiles; the keep-daily /
keep-weekly / keep-monthly / keep-yearly policy remains so manual
invocations (during prune ceremonies, when --append-only is
temporarily off) honor the intended retention.

Files:
  configs/restic/ana-docker/profiles.yaml
  configs/restic/ana-ml2/profiles.yaml
  configs/restic/nh3-docker/profiles.yaml
  configs/restic/esh-docker-vm/profiles.yaml
  configs/restic/vm-esh-nas/profiles.yaml
  configs/restic/nh3-dev/profiles.yaml

Each file has an inline comment marking why the schedule was dropped
so a future reader doesn't re-add it thinking it was an oversight.

STATUS.md: removed the "install Backrest nightly-restart timer" line
item. User confirmed the UI timeout hits even at startup, so periodic
restart wouldn't actually help. Root cause remains deferred.
