fix(platform): correct what disabledPackages does to ouroboros (#4098)

<!-- Thank you for making a contribution! Here are some tips for you:
- Use Conventional Commits for the PR title: `type(scope): description`
- Types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, build, ci, chore
- Scopes are not an exhaustive list — pick the most specific scope for
the change and extend the list when a genuinely new area appears.
Examples:
- System components: dashboard, platform, operator, cilium, kube-ovn,
linstor, fluxcd, cluster-api
- Managed apps: postgres, mariadb, redis, kafka, clickhouse,
virtual-machine, kubernetes
- Development and maintenance: api, hack, tests, ci, docs, maintenance
- Breaking changes: append `!` after type/scope (`feat(api)!: ...`) or
add a `BREAKING CHANGE:` footer
- If it's a work in progress, consider creating this PR as a draft.
- Don't hesistate to ask for opinion and review in the community chats,
even if it's still a draft.
- Add the label `kind/backport` if it's a bugfix that needs to be
backported to a previous version.

## What this PR does

`bundles.disabledPackages` does not uninstall anything. Two comments in
the platform chart said it does, offered next to `kubectl delete
package.cozystack.io cozystack.ouroboros` as if the two were
interchangeable.

A name in that list only stops `_helpers.tpl` emitting the Package
document, which is the same suppression you already get from leaving
`publishing.proxyProtocol` false. Every emitted Package carries
`helm.sh/resource-policy: keep`, and that annotation is there precisely
so disabling a package stops deleting it, so Helm leaves the Package CR
alone. The CR stays, the HelmRelease it owns stays, ouroboros keeps
running, and the pre-delete hook never fires because nothing uninstalls
the release. Deleting the Package CR is what gets there: GC takes the
HelmRelease, Flux uninstalls, the hook runs on the way out.

There was a second cost. The guard in the system bundle looks up the
live Package CR and never reads `disabledPackages`, so an operator who
followed the old advice hit the guard anyway with no idea why. New test
case pins that.

Comments only in the templates, so rendered output is unchanged. Chart
suite green at 156 tests.

### Screenshots

Not a UI change.

<!-- REQUIRED for UI changes: attach screenshots or screen recordings
demonstrating
the visual impact of your changes. PRs with UI changes without
screenshots will not be merged. -->

### Downstream repositories

<!--
Cozystack is upstream for repositories that are NOT kept in sync with it
automatically, and nothing in CI compares the two sides, so a change
here can break them silently.

Which change forces what, and which file to touch, is the trigger map in
docs/agents/contributing.md under "Downstream Repositories". Walk it
before you tick anything.

IF YOU ARE AN AI AGENT OR AN LLM, THIS IS PART OF THE TASK, NOT A FORM
TO FILL IN:

1. Walk the trigger map against the actual diff of this PR, file by
file. Do not decide from the PR title or from your memory of what you
changed.
2. For every repository you tick, open the follow-up PR there and link
it on the same line. A ticked box with no link claims work that does not
exist, which is worse than an empty box. Search that repository for an
open PR or issue covering it first, and link that instead of filing a
duplicate.
3. When the follow-up is out of scope, or needs a decision that is not
yours to make, open an issue in that repository instead, link that, and
say so in the PR body. Do not push a speculative PR into another
repository just to fill a line here.
4. Do not tick "No downstream repository is affected" to make the
checklist go away. If you are unsure, leave every box empty and say so
in the PR body, so a human decides.
-->

Walked the trigger map against the diff. One repo is reached, and I left
its box empty rather than tick it without a link.

`cozystack/website` has the same wrong instruction verbatim in three
files: `content/en/docs/next/networking/hairpin-proxy-protocol.md:122`,
and the identical line under `v1.4/` and `v1.5/`. It tells the reader
that removing the Package CR "(or add it to `bundles.disabledPackages`)"
triggers helm uninstall and fires the pre-delete hook. It also
contradicts `operations/configuration/components.md:72` on the same
site, which says `disabledPackages` will not remove components that are
already installed. The site fix is cozystack/website#683. It turned out
to be four files rather than three: `origin/main` there also carries a
`v1.6` tree, and all four copies were byte-identical.

Nothing else is reached: no package added or renamed, no
`values.schema.json`, no version enum, no default, no key the Ansible
role sets, nothing under `hack/`.

```release-note
fix(platform): the platform chart no longer says `bundles.disabledPackages` uninstalls a package. A name in that list only stops the Package document being rendered. `helm.sh/resource-policy: keep` leaves the existing Package CR on the cluster and the component keeps running, so deleting the Package CR is what uninstalls it.
```

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Documentation**
- Clarified proxy protocol safety guidance, including the effects of
disabling the Ouroboros package and the limitations of using
`bundles.disabledPackages`.
- Documented that disabling package rendering does not remove an
existing live package or stop its associated resources.

- **Tests**
- Added regression coverage confirming that disabling the package does
not bypass the proxy protocol safety guard when the live package remains
active.
