feat(fv-ml1): daily drift alarm for the seat inventory

Wires scripts/seat-inventory.py --check to a user systemd timer on nh3-dev
(09:15 daily, Persistent=true so a missed run fires on next boot) that posts to
althing when the committed document stops matching the live box.

Alarms rather than auto-committing. A drift means something changed on the HOST,
which deserves a human look -- silently regenerating the doc would erase the
evidence of when the change happened and why, which is how the char-rp
substitution went unnoticed for three weeks.

The alarm includes the changed table rows, not just the fact of divergence, so
it does not send the reader hunting.

⚠ The post goes --to infra-ops, which is the fleet ops handle the reading
session also runs as. That is the documented exception -- a memo from cron to a
future session, the same pattern as the Beszel alerts -- so the message says so
in its first line, to stop a future session triaging its own alarm as peer mail
and trying to reply to it.

SuccessExitStatus=0 1 because a detected drift is a deliberate non-zero exit,
not a unit failure.

# Daily drift alarm for the fv-ml1 seat inventory.
#
# Runs scripts/seat-inventory.py --check against the LIVE box and posts to althing
# when the committed document no longer matches reality. This exists because the
# guarantee "the seat docs are current" cannot rest on anyone remembering to
# regenerate them -- seats change ON THE BOX, not through the repo, so nothing in
# the commit path would ever notice.
#
# Alarms, does not auto-commit: a drift is a signal that something changed on the
# host, and that deserves a human look rather than a silent doc update that would
# erase the evidence of when it happened.
