Make Linux wipe script safer for network filesystems (#41812)
This pull request enhances the safety of the `linux_wipe.sh` script by
ensuring that destructive file operations do not affect network-mounted
filesystems. The changes introduce checks to detect network filesystems,
prevent accidental deletion of remote data, and improve the reliability
of wipe operations by avoiding crossing filesystem boundaries.

**Network filesystem safety improvements:**

* Added a `NETWORK_FS_TYPES` variable and functions to detect and
unmount network filesystems, preventing the script from deleting data on
NFS, CIFS, SMB, SSHFS, and similar mounts.
(`ee/server/service/embedded_scripts/linux_wipe.sh`)

* Introduced an `unmount_network_filesystems` function called before
wiping operations to unmount all detected network filesystems.
(`ee/server/service/embedded_scripts/linux_wipe.sh`)
* Added an `is_network_mount` function to skip wiping any path residing
on a network filesystem.
(`ee/server/service/embedded_scripts/linux_wipe.sh`)

**Safe file deletion enhancements:**

* Implemented a `safe_rm` function that ensures file deletions do not
cross filesystem boundaries, using `rm --one-file-system` or `find
-xdev` as a fallback. All destructive operations now use this wrapper.
(`ee/server/service/embedded_scripts/linux_wipe.sh`)
* Updated `wipe_non_essential_data` and `wipe_system_files` to use
`safe_rm` and to skip paths on network filesystems.
(`ee/server/service/embedded_scripts/linux_wipe.sh`)

These changes significantly reduce the risk of deleting data on remote
or shared filesystems during a wipe operation.

# Checklist for submitter

If some of the following don't apply, delete the relevant line.

- [ ] Changes file added for user-visible changes in `changes/`,
`orbit/changes/` or `ee/fleetd-chrome/changes`.
See [Changes
files](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/guides/committing-changes.md#changes-files)
for more information.

- [ ] Input data is properly validated, `SELECT *` is avoided, SQL
injection is prevented (using placeholders for values in statements), JS
inline code is prevented especially for url redirects
- [ ] If paths of existing endpoints are modified without backwards
compatibility, checked the frontend/CLI for any necessary changes

## Testing

- [ ] Added/updated automated tests
- [ ] Where appropriate, [automated tests simulate multiple hosts and
test for host
isolation](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/reference/patterns-backend.md#unit-testing)
(updates to one hosts's records do not affect another)

- [ ] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually

For unreleased bug fixes in a release candidate, one of:

- [ ] Confirmed that the fix is not expected to adversely impact load
test results
- [ ] Alerted the release DRI if additional load testing is needed

## Database migrations

- [ ] Checked schema for all modified table for columns that will
auto-update timestamps during migration.
- [ ] Confirmed that updating the timestamps is acceptable, and will not
cause unwanted side effects.
- [ ] Ensured the correct collation is explicitly set for character
columns (`COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci`).

## New Fleet configuration settings

- [ ] Setting(s) is/are explicitly excluded from GitOps

If you didn't check the box above, follow this checklist for
GitOps-enabled settings:

- [ ] Verified that the setting is exported via `fleetctl
generate-gitops`
- [ ] Verified the setting is documented in a separate PR to [the GitOps
documentation](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Configuration/yaml-files.md#L485)
- [ ] Verified that the setting is cleared on the server if it is not
supplied in a YAML file (or that it is documented as being optional)
- [ ] Verified that any relevant UI is disabled when GitOps mode is
enabled

## fleetd/orbit/Fleet Desktop

- [ ] Verified compatibility with the latest released version of Fleet
(see [Must
rule](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/workflows/fleetd-development-and-release-strategy.md))
- [ ] If the change applies to only one platform, confirmed that
`runtime.GOOS` is used as needed to isolate changes
- [ ] Verified that fleetd runs on macOS, Linux and Windows
- [ ] Verified auto-update works from the released version of component
to the new version (see [tools/tuf/test](../tools/tuf/test/README.md))
