Cyrene ae50acfe40 fix(ssh): per-challenge SSH login + phew buffering/leak/timeout
Passwords failed on 10/16 challenges while state.json looked correct:
- only the 6 native GEMASTIK XVIII images provision 'ctfuser'; every imported
  XVI/XVII image does 'echo root:${PASSWORD} | chpasswd' and logs in as root.
  set_ssh_passwords() hardcoded ctfuser, so chpasswd set a password on an
  account nobody uses -> 'Permission denied' everywhere.
  Registry gains a per-challenge 'ssh_user'; chpasswd now targets the real
  login (and ctfuser/ctf when present) and reports failures loudly.
- phew checker: chall.py block-buffers stdout through the docker exec pipe
  (PYTHONUNBUFFERED now set) and leaks chall.py inside the container on
  timeout (26 orphans, container saturated) -> reaps the whole exec process
  group. Startup does a fresh Pailier keygen (~12 s) so crypto reads need
  _CRYPTO_TIMEOUT, not the 5 s prompt default.

Adds panel/verify_ssh_creds.py (proves the state->container binding from
inside via a real login), audit_ssh_users.sh, reset_runtime.sh.
