feat(remote): route LXC/VM checks through the Proxmox host, not direct SSH

The scheduler SSHed each guest directly and assumed a deployed probe script
plus working root SSH at the guest's address — false for headless (nfs-export),
keyless (teddycloud), mesh-only (rclone), and macOS (mac-mini) targets, which
left 49 enabled checks stuck "down" on a healthy fleet.

Extract the MCP run tool's resolveExecTarget into a shared internal/remote
package and make it the single execution path for both the scheduler and MCP.
LXC/VM checks now host-hop via pct exec / qm guest exec through the owning
Proxmox host (no per-guest lan_ip, sshd, or authorized key needed); hosts and
workstations resolve their address and user live, so mac-mini's `user: dtoro`
is honored without a re-seed. Address preference now prefers public_ipv4 over
mesh, so netbird-vps is probeable from the scheduler container.

cpu_check.sh gains a real Darwin branch (it reported cpu_pct 0 before).
checkdefaults.resolveSSHUser reads the top-level `user` attribute too.
A machine-target resolution failure is now logged before falling back to baked
config, so a broken probe-config is distinguishable from a real outage.

// Package remote resolves how to execute a command on a target entity and
// turns a plain shell command into whatever must be sent over the SSH
// connection that reaches it.
//
// The canonical access model: a host or workstation is reached by direct SSH
// to its address; an LXC or VM is NEVER SSH'd into directly — it is reached
// through its owning Proxmox host via `pct exec` / `qm guest exec`. One SSH
// credential per host (the host's root key), no per-guest keys, sshd, or
// lan_ip required for execution. Network probes (http/ping) still hit a
// guest's lan_ip directly; only command execution host-hops.
//
// This is the single resolver shared by the scheduler's check execution and
// the MCP `run` tool. Previously they diverged — the scheduler SSHed guests
// directly (broken for headless/keyless/mesh-only guests), while MCP
// host-hopped (working). Keeping one path keeps them in lockstep.
