feat(expand_root_lv): new role to grow root LV to fill VG + resize fs

Reclaims the half-disk LV left by the Ubuntu Server autoinstall
template default. Idempotent — no-ops cleanly when there are no free PE
in the VG, and exits the play cleanly on hosts without LVM.

Supports ext4 and xfs. Does not handle partition resize (cloud-utils
growpart) — out of scope for the template fix-up case.

Wired into day1_deploy_honcho.yml ahead of the honcho role so newly
provisioned VMs get the fix-up automatically. Suitable to add to any
day1 playbook by simply listing it before the application role.

# expand-root-lv role
Idempotent role that extends the root LVM logical volume to fill its
volume group and grows the underlying filesystem (ext4 or xfs).
## Why this role exists
The Ubuntu Server autoinstall template (used by the mk-labs `wed`-baked
VM templates) provisions the root LV at roughly half the available disk
size — a longstanding installer default that surprises everyone who
hasn't been bitten by it before. Every freshly-provisioned VM in mk-labs
needs this fix-up before it's fully useful.
## Idempotency
- If `vg_free_count == 0`, the `lvextend` step is skipped and the
filesystem-grow step is also skipped (nothing to resize against).
- If the target volume group doesn't exist on the host (e.g. a non-LVM
layout), the role exits cleanly via `meta: end_play`.
- Safe to leave in a day1 deploy playbook so future disk expansions
(Proxmox-side disk grow → reboot → run role) are picked up
automatically.
## Usage
Standalone:
```yaml
- hosts: lincoln
become: true
roles:
- expand_root_lv
```
Or chained ahead of an application role in a day1 playbook:
```yaml
- hosts: honcho_server
become: true
roles:
- expand_root_lv
- honcho
```
## Defaults
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|-----------------------------------|---------------|---------------------------------------------------|
| `expand_root_lv_vg_name` | `ubuntu-vg` | LVM volume group name (Ubuntu installer default). |
| `expand_root_lv_lv_name` | `ubuntu-lv` | LVM logical volume name (Ubuntu installer default). |
| `expand_root_lv_mountpoint` | `/` | Mountpoint of the filesystem to grow. |
Override these in `host_vars/<host>.yml` for hosts that use a different
LVM layout. Hosts without LVM are silently no-op'd.
## Limitations
- Does not extend the underlying partition. If the operator grows the
Proxmox disk and the partition itself needs to grow before lvextend
can claim the new space, run `growpart /dev/sda 3` (or equivalent)
first. A future enhancement could automate this via `cloud-utils`'
`growpart` package, but it's out of scope for the initial template
fix-up case where the partition already covers the whole disk.
