Ettore Di Giacinto 2da1a4d230 feat(distributed): per-node backend installation from the gallery
In distributed mode the Backends gallery used to fan every install out to
every worker — fine for auto-resolving (meta) backends like llama-cpp where
each node picks its own variant, but wrong for hardware-specific builds
like cpu-llama-cpp that would silently land on every GPU node.

Adds a node-targeted install path through the existing
POST /api/nodes/:id/backends/install plumbing, with two entry points:

- Backends gallery row gets a split-button in distributed mode. Auto-
  resolving keeps "Install on all nodes" as the primary; chevron menu
  opens the picker. Hardware-specific routes the primary directly to the
  picker — no fan-out path on the row.
- Nodes-page drawer gets a "+ Add backend" button that navigates to
  /app/backends?target=<node-id>; the gallery scopes itself to that node
  (banner, single per-row install button, Reinstall/Remove for already-
  installed). One gallery, two scopes — no second UI to maintain.

The picker (new NodeInstallPicker) shows a 3-state suitability column
(Compatible / Override / Installed), an auto-expanding variant override
disclosure that fires when selected nodes have no working GPU, parallel
per-node installs with inline status and Retry-failed-nodes, and a
mismatch confirm that names the consequence on the button itself.

A 409 fan-out guard on /api/backends/apply protects CLI/Terraform/script
users from the same footgun: hardware-specific installs in distributed
mode now return code "concrete_backend_requires_target" with a human-
readable error and a meta_alternative pointer.

The gallery list payload now surfaces capabilities, metaBackendFor and
per-row nodes (NodeBackendRef) so the picker and the new Nodes column
have everything they need without re-walking the gallery client-side.

GODEBUG=netdns=go is set on the compose services because the cgo DNS
resolver follows the container's nsswitch.conf to host systemd-resolved
(127.0.0.53), unreachable from inside the container; the pure-Go
resolver reads /etc/resolv.conf directly and uses Docker's embedded DNS.
