[monitoring][poison-fountain] pushgateway persistence + cronjob uid-0

Two independent root-cause fixes surfaced by the 2026-04-22 cluster
health check:

1. Pushgateway lost all in-memory metrics when node3 kubelet hiccuped
   at 11:42 UTC, hiding backup_last_success_timestamp{job="offsite-
   backup-sync"} until the next 06:01 UTC push — a ~18h false-negative
   window. Enable persistence on a 2Gi proxmox-lvm-encrypted PVC with
   --persistence.interval=1m. Chart note: values key is
   `prometheus-pushgateway:` (subchart alias), not `pushgateway:`.

2. poison-fountain-fetcher CronJob runs curlimages/curl as UID 100
   but the NFS mount /srv/nfs/poison-fountain is root:root 755 and
   the main Deployment runs as root, so mkdir /data/cache fails
   every 6h. Set run_as_user=0 on the CronJob container (no_root_squash
   is set on the export).

Closes the backup_offsite_sync FAIL on the next 06:01 UTC offsite
sync; closes the recurring poison-fountain evicted-pod noise on the
next 00:00 UTC cron tick.

**Pushgateway persistence**: The Pushgateway is configured with
`--persistence.file=/data/pushgateway.bin --persistence.interval=1m`
on a 2Gi `proxmox-lvm-encrypted` PVC (helm values:
`prometheus-pushgateway.persistentVolume`). Without this, every pod
restart drops in-memory metrics. Once-per-day pushers (offsite-sync,
weekly backup) are otherwise invisible for up to 24h if the
Pushgateway restarts between pushes — which is exactly what triggered
the 2026-04-22 backup_offsite_sync FAIL (node3 kubelet hiccup at
11:42 UTC terminated the Pushgateway 8h after the 03:12 UTC push).
**Alert routing**:
- All backup alerts → Slack `#infra-alerts`
- Vaultwarden integrity fail → Slack `#infra-critical` (immediate action required)
