Test shutdown exit codes, Sentry startup failure and the processing wait (closes #86)

These tests fail until the change that follows: runApp and
WaitForProcessing do not exist yet, the server has no shutdowner, and a
Sentry DSN that cannot be used exits the process from a goroutine
instead of failing the server's start hook.

runApp must return the exit code a shutdown request carries, 0 without
one, and 1 when the app fails to start or stop. A listen error must ask
fx to shut down with exit code 1. WaitForProcessing must wait for an
image being processed and report it when its context ends first.

 # Completed Steps
 
+- 2026-09-29 the container makes `/var/lib/pixa` usable by itself (closes
+  #159): `deploy/docker-entrypoint.sh` creates the directory if it is missing,
+  gives the directory and everything in it to `pixad` when the directory or one
+  of its top-level entries belongs to another user or group, sets its mode to
+  `750`, then runs the server as `pixad`; data left by an earlier run under
+  another uid is taken over this way; "Running under upaas" in `README.md` no
+  longer tells the operator to create or chown the host directory.
+- 2026-09-29 variant content types kept in memory (closes #70):
+  `Cache.metaCache` holds the content types of up to 10,000 variants in an LRU
+  (`github.com/hashicorp/golang-lru/v2`), filled by `StoreVariant` and by
+  `GetVariant` after it reads a `.meta` file, where a type `StoreVariant` added
+  meanwhile is kept over the one read, and never with the
+  `application/octet-stream` served for a variant without one; for a variant it
+  holds, `GetVariant` skips the `.meta` read, still opening the variant file and
+  taking the size from it; eviction removes the entry before deleting the files,
+  and `GetVariant` removes it when the file will not open; the cap is a
+  constant, not a setting; the unused `variantMeta` type is gone; `README.md`
+  describes it.
