This PR addresses the issue where the user had to manually handle permissions and user creation.
It implements automatic detection of the user (prioritizing the user invoking sudo), or creates a dedicated server_manager system user.
The detected UID/GID are then passed to all services via environment variables (PUID/PGID) and used to set ownership of the installation directory.

- Implements `ensure_media_user` in `system.rs` to detect SUDO_USER or create `server_manager` user.
- Adds `user_id` and `group_id` to `HardwareInfo`.
- Updates all services to use detected UID/GID for PUID/PGID env vars.
- Adds `chown_recursive` to set permissions on install directory.
- Updates tests to reflect changes.
