allow full highstate on manager while master locked

The active-push feature detected pillar/settings changes via an inotify
beacon on the manager watching /opt/so/saltstack/local/pillar. Replace
that pillar watch with a custom salt beacon (pillar_db) that polls the
SOC so_soc.audit_settings table on a monotonic id watermark, so changes
made through SOC drive immediate pushes from the database instead of the
files. The suricata/strelka rule inotify watches (and pyinotify) are kept
unchanged, since rule-file edits are not recorded in audit_settings.

- salt/_beacons/pillar_db.py: new beacon. Polls audit_settings via
  `docker exec so-postgres psql` (unix-socket trust auth), tracks the last
  processed id in /opt/so/state/pillar_db_watch.id, seeds to MAX(id) on
  first run (no history replay), and emits one event per new row.
- salt/reactor/push_pillar.sls: consume setting_id/node_id from the beacon
  event instead of a file path. App = first dotted segment of setting_id,
  looked up in pillar_push_map.yaml. Empty node_id -> grid-wide actions as
  is; populated node_id -> the app's state(s) retargeted to that one node.
- salt/manager/files/beacons_pushstate.conf.jinja: drop the pillar inotify
  block, add the pillar_db beacon (interval = push.drain_interval); keep
  the suricata/strelka inotify watches.
- salt/salt/files/reactor_pushstate.conf: map salt/beacon/*/pillar_db/
  audit_settings to push_pillar.sls; remove the pillar inotify reactor
  lines; keep suricata/strelka.

The intent -> so-push-drainer -> orch.push_batch pipeline is unchanged.
Verified end-to-end on a standalone: a grid-wide telegraf.output change
re-applied telegraf fleetwide (container replaced), and a per-host
ntp.config.servers change applied ntp to only that node.

+so-push-drainer
+===============
+
+Scheduled drainer for the active-push feature. Runs on the manager every
+drain_interval seconds (default 15) via a salt schedule in salt/schedule.sls.
+
+For each intent file under /opt/so/state/push_pending/*.json whose last_touch
+is older than debounce_seconds, this script:
+  * concatenates the actions lists from every ready intent
+  * dedupes by (state or __highstate__, tgt, tgt_type)
+  * dispatches a single `salt-run state.orchestrate orch.push_batch --async`
+    with the deduped actions list passed as pillar kwargs
+  * deletes the contributed intent files on successful dispatch
+
+Reactor sls files (push_suricata, push_strelka, push_pillar) write intents
+but never dispatch directly -- see plan
+/home/mreeves/.claude/plans/goofy-marinating-hummingbird.md for the full design.

+# One pillar directory can map to multiple (state, tgt) actions.
+# tgt is a raw salt compound expression. tgt_type is always "compound".
+# Per-action `batch` / `batch_wait` override the orch defaults (25% / 15s).
+# An action with `highstate: True` triggers state.highstate instead of
+# state.apply -- see salt/orch/push_batch.sls.
+#
+# Notes:
+#   - `bpf` is a pillar-only dir (no state of its own) consumed by both
+#     zeek and suricata via macros, so a bpf pillar change re-applies both.
+#   - suricata/strelka/zeek/elasticsearch/redis/kafka/logstash etc. have
+#     their own pillar dirs AND their own state, so they map 1:1 (or 1:2
+#     in strelka's case, because of the split init.sls / manager.sls).
+#
+# Intentional omissions (these will log a "not in pillar_push_map.yaml"
+# warning in push_pillar.sls and wait for the next scheduled highstate):
+#   - `data` and `node_data`: pillar-only data consumed by many states;
+#     handling them generically would amount to a fleetwide highstate.
+#   - `host`: soc_host describes mainint/mainip; a change is a re-IP and
+#     needs a coordinated procedure, not an immediate state push.
+#   - `hypervisor`: state changes touch libvirt and are disruptive; leave
+#     to the next scheduled highstate.
+#   - `sensor`: every field in soc_sensor.yaml is `readonly: True` or
+#     per-minion (`node: True`). Per-minion edits are persisted under
+#     pillar/minions/<id>.sls and are handled by Branch A of push_pillar.sls
+#     (per-minion highstate intent), not by this app-pillar map.
+#
+# The role sets here were verified line-by-line against salt/top.sls. If
+# salt/top.sls changes how an app is targeted, update the corresponding
+# compound here.
+
+# firewall: the one pillar everyone touches. Applied everywhere intentionally
+# because every host's iptables needs to know about every other host in the
+# grid. Salt's firewall state is idempotent (file.managed + iptables-restore
+# onchanges in salt/firewall/init.sls), so hosts whose rendered firewall is
+# unchanged do a file comparison and no-op without touching iptables -- actual
+# reload happens only on the hosts whose rules actually changed. Fleetwide
