FIX: prevent joining minion from executing code as root on the manager

so-minion exported every line of the minion-controlled /opt/so/install.txt
into its root shell and wrote the values unescaped into a Jinja-rendered
pillar, allowing a rogue node to redefine PILLARFILE or run code on the
master at the next pillar compile. pcapspace also fed minion-returned
disk.usage output into bash arithmetic, which evaluates array subscripts.

- Parse install.txt against an allowlist of known keys; never export
- Validate MINION_ID before building pillar paths; make them readonly
- Validate node type, IP, interface, hostname, heap and core values
  before any pillar is written; strip braces and control chars from
  the free-text node description
- Require a numeric disk size before pcapspace arithmetic
- Refuse manager node types on add/addVM so a remote node cannot
  rewrite the CA pillar; only setup may create them
