fix(backup): hermes import never overwrites volatile gateway runtime state (NS-501) (#48243)
Importing a backup wrote every file from the zip over the target home
wholesale. On a hosted instance this clobbered gateway_state.json with the
source machine's last recorded run/desired state — driving the container-boot
reconciler (container_boot._read_desired_state, which only auto-starts a
gateway whose state is "running") off stale/foreign state and leaving the
gateway stuck "starting", disconnected from the Nous portal.

Add _IMPORT_SKIP_NAMES (gateway_state.json, gateway.pid, cron.pid,
gateway.lock, processes.json) and skip them by basename in run_import, so both
the root profile and named profiles preserve the target's own runtime state.
This mirrors what container_boot._STALE_RUNTIME_FILES already sweeps on every
container boot, and protects against older backups that predate the
backup-side exclusions. The import summary reports which files were preserved.

This is the second half of NS-501 (filed separately as NS-508): the upload
502 was fixed in #47663; this fixes the import-breaks-the-instance half.

# These hold *volatile gateway/process runtime state that is namespaced to the
# machine or container the backup was taken on* — PIDs in a dead process
# namespace, a runtime lock, the process registry, and the gateway's last
# recorded run/desired state. Restoring them onto a different host (or a hosted
# container) is at best meaningless and at worst actively harmful:
#
# - ``gateway_state.json`` drives the container-boot reconciler
# (``container_boot._read_desired_state``), which only auto-starts a
# gateway whose recorded state is ``running``. A backup taken from a
# machine where the gateway was stopped (or carrying a stale/foreign
# value) overwrites the container's own state and leaves the gateway
# stuck "starting"/"cooking", disconnecting it from the Nous portal
# (NS-508 / the second half of NS-501).
# - ``gateway.pid`` / ``cron.pid`` / ``gateway.lock`` / ``processes.json``
# reference PIDs and locks in the *source* machine's process namespace; a
# numerically-equal PID in the new environment is a different process.
# These mirror exactly what ``container_boot._STALE_RUNTIME_FILES`` already
# sweeps on every container boot.

more**, the snapshot copy of ``cron/jobs.json`` is restored in place.
The check is deliberately conservative — it only ever restores when there
is unambiguous evidence of loss (snapshot had jobs, live file has none),
so a user who genuinely deleted all their jobs during/after the update is
never second-guessed, and an unreadable live file (count ``None``) is left
untouched so real corruption still surfaces.
Args:
snapshot_id: The pre-update quick-snapshot id (from
:func:`create_quick_snapshot`).
hermes_home: Override for the Hermes home directory (tests).
Returns:
``None`` when no action was taken (the common, healthy path). On a
successful restore, a dict ``{"restored": True, "job_count": N,
"snapshot_id": ...}`` so the caller can warn the user.
