Run the Nextcloud container as root, with www-data still mapped onto the user

The second real run failed with:

    (13)Permission denied: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
    no listening sockets available, shutting down

`keep-id:uid=33` does not only build the mapping, it also runs the container
process as the mapped uid -- so the entrypoint and apache2 were running as
www-data, and www-data has no capabilities. Port 80 inside the container's own
network namespace therefore belongs to root. The caddy unit is the control: it
binds 80 and 443 with keep-id:uid=0, and container-root in a userns does have
NET_BIND_SERVICE.

Tested on emily before writing this, because the last two fixes here were reasoned
from the wrong model:

    podman run --userns keep-id:uid=33,gid=33 IMG id            -> uid=33(www-data)
    podman run --userns keep-id:uid=33,gid=33 --user 0 IMG id   -> uid=0(root)

So User=0 restores the process root, and it does not touch the mapping: www-data
is still the connection user, so the webroot stays theirs, the entrypoint's
--chown lands on them, and occ keeps running as www-data through the entrypoint's
own su. That is the configuration the image is written for -- it expects root to
bind the port and to chown the webroot -- which is the real argument for this
option over the two that also tested clean: --sysctl
net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=80 and --cap-add NET_BIND_SERVICE. Both would
have fixed the symptom while leaving the entrypoint permanently unprivileged,
which is exactly what produced this failure and the redis-session.ini one before
it.

The readme's debugging section now lists all three failures this playbook has
produced and what each means, and the rescue message points there instead of
repeating a stale list.
