samples: a kvm2 crawl pool, not just the single-proxy sample

proxy_kvm2.yaml shows one VM; nothing showed the shape a crawler actually
leases from. Add a five-Proxy pool on the kvm2-home entry: four share one
labelled cloud-init Secret, and the fifth carries its own inline block
because it runs squid on 8080 and spec.port has to match the http_port a
shared Secret would pin.

It stays out of the samples kustomization so `apply -k config/samples`
doesn't boot a pool along with the one-per-provider samples. All six
objects validate against the installed CRD under --dry-run=server.

# Changelog
## 2026-09-18 07:44 UTC — a kvm2 crawl-pool sample
Until now the only kvm2 manifest was the one-VM `config/samples/proxy_kvm2.yaml`, which
left the multi-proxy shape — the one a crawler actually leases from — undocumented.
- Added `config/samples/proxy_kvm2_crawl_pool.yaml`: five Managed Proxies on the `kvm2-home`
entry, four sharing one labelled cloud-init Secret and one inline (it runs squid on 8080,
so it cannot share a Secret that pins `http_port 3128`). Covers the `tier` attribute the
discovery API selects on, a `medium`/`ubuntu-24.04` member with a raised `maxLeases`, and
a member with a tightened `healthCheck`.
- Kept out of `config/samples/kustomization.yaml` on purpose so `apply -k` doesn't boot a
whole pool; the exclusion is commented there next to the existing `providers-config.yaml`
one. Validated with `kubectl apply --dry-run=server`.
## 2026-09-17 20:36 UTC — kvm2: the four high findings from the code review, and its first run on a real hypervisor
A scoped review of the kvm2 provider (`review/REPORT.md`: 52 findings, 4 high, 20 medium,

# A pool of Managed crawl proxies on the kvm2 provider — the multi-proxy
# counterpart to the single proxy_kvm2.yaml sample. Everything here boots on
# the one host the kvm2 entry configures (beelink); the proxies differ in the
# attributes crawlers select on, in size, and in image.
#
# Requires the same prerequisites as proxy_kvm2.yaml: a providers-config
# entry named "kvm2-home" and the kvm-ssh Secret that the kvm and kvm2
# providers share (docs/kvm2-provider.md).
#
# Deliberately NOT in kustomization.yaml: `kubectl apply -k config/samples`
# would boot every VM in here at once. Apply it on its own when you want the
# pool:
#
# kubectl apply -f config/samples/proxy_kvm2_crawl_pool.yaml
#
# Crawlers reach these through the discovery API by attribute, e.g.
# `GET /v1/proxies?attr.purpose=crawl&healthy=true`, or by leasing one with
# the same selector. Attribute matching is exact equality, so keep the keys
# consistent across the pool and vary only the values you want to select on.
#
# The first Proxy for an image on the host waits for that image to download;
# the rest reuse the cached copy. debian-13 and ubuntu-24.04 are separate
# downloads, so the ubuntu member below is the slow one on a cold host.
---
# One cloud-init Secret shared by the whole pool: the proxies below point at
# it with secretRef instead of each carrying its own copy of the squid
# config. The crawl.example.com/cloud-init label is mandatory — the manager's
# cache only holds Secrets that carry it, so an unlabelled Secret is
# invisible to the operator and the Proxy never resolves.
#
# Editing this Secret changes the resolved cloud-init of every Proxy that
# references it, and that replaces each of their VMs. That is the trade for
# sharing one definition: convenient for a config rollout, disruptive if you
# only meant to touch one member. Give a member its own Secret (or an inline
# block) when it needs to diverge.

# A member that probes harder than the pool default (30s interval, 3 failures
