backup pipeline: flock manifest + cap + drop LAN -z

Three more audit fixes from the 2026-05-24 backup-pipeline review:

#5 (S1 race) — manifest flock
  daily-backup and nfs-mirror both append to /mnt/backup/.changed-files.
  If they overlap (nfs-mirror Mon 04:11 running long, daily-backup
  starting Mon 05:00), concurrent appends from `find | tee` and
  `find | sed >>` could interleave mid-line — partial paths would slip
  past rsync's --files-from. Both scripts now share a manifest_append()
  helper using `flock -x` on /mnt/backup/.changed-files.lock. The 4
  daily-backup call sites + the 1 nfs-mirror call site all pipe through
  it instead of redirecting directly.

#7 (S2 unbounded manifest)
  daily-backup gains check_manifest_size() invoked after the PVE-config
  append (the last manifest writer of the run). Above MANIFEST_MAX_LINES
  (500k) it touches /mnt/backup/.force-full-sync — offsite-sync's Step 1
  now treats that flag the same as day-of-month ≤ 7 (full sync with
  --delete) and clears it on success. Catches the "Synology unreachable
  for many days" edge case where the manifest would grow unbounded.

#9 (wear — drop -z on LAN hops)
  offsite-sync rsync calls to Synology over the same 192.168.1.0/24
  gigabit LAN had `-rltz`. Compression burns CPU on the PVE host (already
  IO-busy) and gives nothing on a saturated GigE link. Dropped to `-rlt`
  on all 5 offsite rsync invocations (Step 1 full + Step 1 incremental +
  Step 2 full nfs + Step 2 full nfs-ssd + Step 2 incremental).

Other adjustments:
- nfs-mirror's find-after-rsync now also excludes the new state files
  (.changed-files.lock, .force-full-sync) when populating the manifest.
- offsite-sync Step 1 full-sync excludes the same .force-full-sync flag
  so it doesn't ship to Synology.

Deployed to PVE host (/usr/local/bin/{daily-backup,nfs-mirror,
offsite-sync-backup}). Currently in-flight nfs-mirror run is unaffected
(bash loaded the old script into memory at start). Next runs use the
new behaviour.
