Subject: [PATCH] feat(k8s,proxmox): add etcd tuning for spinning-disk storage
 + VM disk audit script
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

k8s/install-cp.sh: add --etcd-arg heartbeat-interval=1000 and
election-timeout=5000 to both bootstrap and join commands. Gives etcd 5x
margin to absorb transient fsync stalls on spinning-disk-backed NFS
storage (default 500ms/1500ms too tight for this environment).

proxmox/perf/scripts/audit-vm-disks.sh: new script to audit disk cache
configuration on all VMs across Proxmox hosts. Identifies VMs that would
benefit from cache=writeback (especially etcd/database workloads on
NFS-backed spinning disk).
