leviathan 36814f272d modules: migrate remaining 22 modules to ctx->host fingerprint
Completes the host-fingerprint refactor that started in c00c3b4. Every
module now consults the shared ctx->host (populated once at startup
by core/host.c) instead of re-doing uname / geteuid / /etc/os-release
parsing / fork+unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) probes per detect().

Migrations applied per module (mechanical, no exploit logic touched):

1. #include "../../core/host.h" inside each module's #ifdef __linux__.
2. kernel_version_current(&v) -> ctx->host->kernel (with the
   v -> v-> arrow-vs-dot fix for all later usage). Drops ~20 redundant
   uname() calls across the corpus.
3. geteuid() == 0 (the 'already root, nothing to escalate' gate) ->
   bool is_root = ctx->host ? ctx->host->is_root : (geteuid() == 0);
   This is the key change that lets the unit test suite construct
   non-root fingerprints regardless of the test process's actual euid.
4. Per-detect fork+unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) probe helpers (named
   can_unshare_userns / can_unshare_userns_mount across the corpus)
   are removed wholesale; their call sites now consult
   ctx->host->unprivileged_userns_allowed, which was probed once at
   startup. Removes ~10 per-scan fork()s.

Modules touched by this commit (22):

  Batch A (7): dirty_pipe, dirty_cow, ptrace_traceme, pwnkit,
               cgroup_release_agent, overlayfs_setuid, and entrybleed
               (no migration target — KPTI gate stays as direct sysfs
               read; documented as 'no applicable pattern').

  Batch B (7): nf_tables, cls_route4, netfilter_xtcompat, af_packet,
               af_packet2, af_unix_gc, fuse_legacy.

  Batch C (8): stackrot, nft_set_uaf, nft_fwd_dup, nft_payload,
               sudo_samedit, sequoia, sudoedit_editor, vmwgfx.

Combined with the 4 modules already migrated (dirtydecrypt, fragnesia,
pack2theroot, overlayfs) and the 5-module copy_fail_family bridge,
the entire registered corpus now goes through ctx->host. The 4
'fork+unshare per detect()' helpers that existed across nf_tables,
cls_route4, netfilter_xtcompat, af_packet, af_packet2, fuse_legacy,
nft_set_uaf, nft_fwd_dup, nft_payload, sequoia,
cgroup_release_agent, and overlayfs_setuid are now gone — replaced by
the single startup probe in core/host.c.

Verification:
- Linux (docker gcc:latest + libglib2.0-dev): full clean build links
  31 modules; tests/test_detect.c: 8/8 pass.
- macOS (local): full clean build links 31 modules (Mach-O, 172KB);
  test suite reports skipped as designed on non-Linux.

Subsequent commits can add more EXPECT_DETECT cases in
tests/test_detect.c — the host-fingerprint paths in every module are
now uniformly testable via synthetic struct skeletonkey_host instances.
