rcourtman 16f791a656 Harden install-time PVE token extraction with JSON-first parsing (#44/#1312)
The install-time auto-register path (auto_register_pve_node) parsed the API
token secret out of pveum's box-drawing table output with a fragile awk
column-split. The web-setup render path was already hardened to request
'pveum ... --output-format json' first and parse the value field, but this
secondary install.sh path was never ported.

auto_register_pve_node now requests --output-format json first (falling back
to the bare --privsep 1 form only when an older pveum rejects the JSON flag,
which keeps the secure-installer contract pin on that form satisfied) and
extracts the secret via a new extract_pve_token_value helper: JSON value-field
parse first, then a locale-independent box-drawing table fallback (normalizes
the column separator to a plain pipe byte-wise before splitting, so it works
regardless of host locale). This mirrors the hardened render path and removes
the silent-failure / mis-parse risk when pveum table formatting drifts.

Functional + contract tests in root_install_sh_test.go; deployment-installability
contract documents the deterministic extraction. The host-agent path
(internal/hostagent/proxmox_setup.go setupPVEToken) carries an agent-lifecycle
token-permission proof obligation and is left for a governed lane.
