Josh Patterson a330bea25e Rename push-detection beacons to clearer names
Rename the two custom push-detection beacons for clarity:
- pillar_db -> postgres_pillar_beacon
- rules_db  -> rules_beacon

Salt resolves a beacon by its config-key name to a _beacons/ module of the
same filename and tags its events salt/beacon/<minion>/<name>/<tag>, so each
rename touches the module file, the beacon config key in
beacons_pushstate.conf.jinja, and the reactor tag patterns in
reactor_pushstate.conf together. Watermark filenames and log prefixes are
updated to match; reactor run() logic is unchanged.

# Custom salt beacon that watches the suricata/strelka rule directories for changes
# and emits a beacon event per changed directory. This replaces the stock salt
# `inotify` beacon, which leaks a kernel inotify instance every time the minion
# rebuilds the beacon loader's __context__ (orphaning the old pyinotify.Notifier
# without closing it) until fs.inotify.max_user_instances is exhausted and the
# beacon dies with EMFILE. Polling holds zero inotify instances, so the leak is
# impossible, and it keeps firing during state runs (no blackout).
#
# Detection is poll-based with a per-directory fingerprint persisted to
# WATERMARK_DIR: each pass walks the directory and hashes every file's
# (relpath, st_mtime_ns, st_size), which catches content writes, additions,
# moves, and deletions. A change in the digest emits one event; an unchanged
# digest emits nothing. This makes it self-healing (a missed poll simply catches
# up on the next one).
#
# Each emitted event carries the watched directory path under the configured tag
# (e.g. salt/beacon/<minion>/rules_beacon/suricata); the push_suricata / push_strelka
# reactors write a push intent, after which the existing so-push-drainer /
# orch.push_batch pipeline takes over unchanged.
