feat(calibre-server): Calibre Content Server as a boot-persistent Quadlet

lscr.io/linuxserver/calibre:9.15.0 (desktop build) running calibre-server
as the s6 main service on internal 8090 -> host 8084, auth-gated with a
plaintext userdb (mode 600) bootstrapped once by the deploy handler.
The desktop GUI is kept on 8080/8182, basic-authed with the same
credential pair via the machine-local env file.
