ci: run dind under Sysbox, not privileged (rollback override kept)

dind was privileged: true, so a job that escaped into dind was root on
Veron 1, which is Grant's workstation. Under sysbox-runc (sysbox-ce 0.7.1,
installed 09-23 with no docker restart) dind root is an unprivileged host
uid. Smoke-tested standalone: nested containers, internet, a services-style
postgres on a private network and a python image all pass unprivileged.
Fresh volume dind-storage-sysbox; the old dind-storage stays for
docker-compose.privileged.yml, the one-command rollback.
