taylanbakircioglu a87994e06a fix(vip): refuse adoption that strands a node or normalises a peer (v1.10.9)
Three findings from a second pass over the adoption flow, all of the same
class: something real leaving the set silently.

1. STRANDING. _collect_instance_participants can only match a node it can
   READ, that is ENABLED, and that is in the SAME pool. Each of those is a door
   a genuine member of the VRRP group leaves through without a word, and the
   nodes that remain are rewritten while it keeps serving the same address from
   an unmanaged config. Found on a live pool: one node of a pair had an
   unclosed vrrp_instance block, so it parsed to nothing while its partner
   parsed cleanly.

   Rather than guard each door, ask the question directly: does any reported
   keepalived.conf mention THIS virtual address without being one of the nodes
   we are about to adopt? Refuses naming the node and the reason. Scoped on the
   address so an unrelated file elsewhere cannot block every adoption, and
   excluding nodes already under management (a standing VIP, or our ownership
   marker) because those are not stranded.

2. SILENT NORMALISATION. prefix_length, unicast/multicast mode, HAProxy
   tracking and the VRRP password are stored ONCE on the VIP and re-rendered
   onto EVERY member, so whichever node was clicked imposed its settings on the
   others. prefix_length is the sharpest: the design refuses to GUESS a netmask
   for a live VIP, and copying one node's netmask onto another is that same
   change wearing a different hat. All four must now agree, with both values
   named in the refusal. The VRRP secret is compared by decrypting each node's
   token - Fernet is non-deterministic, so ciphertexts cannot be compared - and
   a token that will not decrypt is an error rather than an assumed match.

3. THE TAKEOVER AUTHORISATION WAS NOT ONE-SHOT. takeover_expected_hash is the
   permission to overwrite a keepalived.conf that lacks our ownership marker.
   It was written at adoption and never cleared, so it stayed valid for that
   file content indefinitely: restoring the pre-adoption file would have been
   overwritten again with no fresh human approval. It is now retired when a
   member acknowledges our rendered config, gated on the acked hash matching
   applied_config_hash so a partial or failed deploy never drops it and leaves
   the VIP unable to converge.

The panel applies the stranding rule too, so the Adopt button is disabled with
the reason instead of letting the operator click into a 422.

No schema change, no agent change, no API-shape break.

Backend suite: 1366 passed, 152 skipped. Frontend build clean.
