Re-architect Sentinel as a zero-dependency Python package

Port the bash prototype to a structured, testable Python codebase while
preserving the same control loop and the seven detection signatures. The bash
implementation stays in src/ as the regression oracle.

Highlights:
- enodia_sentinel/ package (stdlib only — no runtime deps):
  - detectors/ : one pure function per signature, detect(state, cfg)->Alerts
  - system.py  : SystemState — one cached /proc + ss snapshot per sweep,
                 fully injectable so detectors are unit-testable
  - daemon.py  : sweep loop, in-process cooldown dedup, threaded snapshot
                 capture, and a SUID filesystem scan moved OFF the loop
                 thread onto a slow background cadence
  - snapshot.py: forensic text + JSON sidecar with per-signature IR guidance
  - config.py  : dataclass config via TOML + env overrides
  - netutil.py : public-IP / CIDR logic via stdlib ipaddress
- tests/ : 25 stdlib-unittest cases (no root, no /proc, no ss needed)
- TOML config, launcher wrapper, Makefile (pip-free install), hardened
  systemd unit (env-resolved ExecStart), updated PKGBUILD, rewritten README

Performance: per-sweep cost ~200 ms (shared cached state); the multi-second
SUID walk no longer blocks detection. scandir-based walk replaces os.walk.

Verified on Arch: all 7 detectors fire on red-team drills (reverse_shell,
ld_preload, deleted_exe, new_listener, new_suid confirmed live end-to-end),
no false positives on a clean sweep, 25/25 tests pass.

"""deleted_exe — a process running from a deleted or memfd-backed binary.
Fileless malware unlinks its dropper (or runs straight from ``memfd``) so there
is nothing on disk to scan. The kernel still labels the ``/proc/<pid>/exe``
symlink ``(deleted)`` or ``memfd:``. Normal-path deleted exes (a daemon still
running after a package upgrade) are ignored only attacker-controlled/fileless
locations alert.
