Mike Reeves 23255f88e0 add so-yaml dual-write to so_pillar.* + purge verb
Hooks every so-yaml.py write through a new so_yaml_postgres helper that
mirrors disk YAML mutations into so_pillar.pillar_entry via docker exec
psql. Disk remains canonical during the transition; PG mirror failures
are logged only when a real write error occurs (skipped paths and
postgres-unreachable cases stay silent so existing callers don't see
new noise on stderr).

Adds a `purge YAML_FILE` verb on so-yaml that deletes the file from
disk and removes the matching pillar_entry rows. For minion files it
also drops the so_pillar.minion row, which CASCADEs to pillar_entry +
role_member. Designed for so-minion's delete path (replaces rm -f) so
the audit log captures the deletion.

setup/so-functions::generate_passwords + secrets_pillar generate
secrets:pillar_master_pass and /opt/so/conf/postgres/so_pillar.key on
fresh installs, and append the password to existing secrets.sls files
on upgrade.

- salt/manager/tools/sbin/so_yaml_postgres.py: locate(), write_yaml(),
  purge_yaml(), and a small CLI for diagnostics. Skips bootstrap and
  mine-driven paths via the same allowlist used by so-pillar-import.
- salt/manager/tools/sbin/so-yaml.py: import the helper, hook
  writeYaml() to mirror after every disk write, add purgeFile() and
  the purge verb.
- salt/manager/tools/sbin/so-yaml_test.py: 16 new tests covering the
  purge verb and the path-locator / write contract of so_yaml_postgres
  without contacting Postgres. All 91 tests pass.
- setup/so-functions: generate_passwords adds PILLARMASTERPASS and
  SO_PILLAR_KEY; secrets_pillar writes pillar_master_pass and the
  pgcrypto master key file.
