Update inventory/roles to keep K3s state on local storage and prevent iSCSI from managing /var/lib/rancher.
Also add a single-host k3s install playbook, a systemd override template, and docs describing the installer ↔ Ansible boundary and slow-storage knobs.

- Added tasks and playbooks for K3s datastore export/import using MariaDB Tools role, with associated tests and defaults.
- Enhanced iSCSI role to support mkfs-once logic and safer re-initialization of block storage.

- Fixed YAML syntax and Python version parsing in CNPG operator tasks.
- Added automated detection of active network interface (eth0 vs wlan0) for Retropie and Pi nodes to ensure correct K3s configuration.
- Implemented persistent node taints for retropie.prole.org to exclude CloudNative-PG workloads.
- Added a rollout restart mechanism for cnpg-controller-manager to recover from scheduling on tainted or unstable nodes.
- Removed redundant kubectl-cnpg dependency from the Python installer as it is now managed by Ansible.
