feat: add scheduler-k3s:preview subcommand

Adds a `scheduler-k3s:preview <app>` command that renders a unified diff
between the manifests currently stored in the live Helm release for an app
and the manifests that the next deploy would roll out. The diff is produced
entirely via the Helm Go SDK that scheduler-k3s already uses, with no
external `helm` binary or `helm-diff` plugin install required. The
underlying diff and parse logic is vendored from `databus23/helm-diff`
(Apache 2.0) into a new internal package, trimmed of three-way-merge,
release-ownership tracking, and the non-default output formatters.

The chart-construction half of `TriggerSchedulerDeploy` has been extracted
into a reusable `BuildAppChart` helper so deploy and preview share the
same chart materialization without duplicating template logic. Secret
values are redacted by default in preview output; `--show-secrets` and
`--show-secrets-decoded` flags match the upstream `helm diff` UX. Only the
main app helm release is compared in this iteration; auxiliary releases
for config vars, image-pull secrets, and TLS certificates are out of scope
and documented as such.

### Previewing deployment changes
Before triggering a deploy, the `scheduler-k3s:preview` command can be used to display a unified diff between the manifests currently stored in the live Helm release for an app and the manifests that the next deploy would roll out:
```shell
dokku scheduler-k3s:preview node-js-app
```
A clean redeploy with no property changes produces no output. After modifying a property that affects the main app chart (for example `dokku resource:limit --memory 256m node-js-app`), the command shows the unified diff for each changed resource. For an app that has never been deployed, the entire proposed manifest is rendered as added lines.
By default any `kind: Secret` resources have their `data` values redacted so secret bytes never appear in terminal scrollback or CI logs. Two flags adjust this behavior:
```shell
dokku scheduler-k3s:preview node-js-app --show-secrets
dokku scheduler-k3s:preview node-js-app --show-secrets-decoded
```
`--show-secrets` keeps the raw base64-encoded values, and `--show-secrets-decoded` renders them base64-decoded. In current dokku, the only Secret objects in the main app chart come from KEDA autoscaling auth resources configured via [`scheduler-k3s:autoscaling-auth:set`](#workload-autoscaling-authentication); for apps without autoscaling auth, these flags are no-ops.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> The preview only covers the main app helm release (the release named after the app). Dokku installs three auxiliary helm releases per app for config-var storage, image-pull credentials, and TLS certificates, and changes to those releases do **not** appear in this preview. In particular, a `dokku config:set` change followed by `scheduler-k3s:preview` will show no diff because the new config-var value lives in the separate `config-<app>` helm release.
> [!NOTE]
> Helm renders the proposed manifest using a client-side dry-run. The `lookup` template function returns empty values in this mode, so charts overridden via `scheduler-k3s:charts:set` that depend on `lookup` may render differently here than at actual deploy time. Dokku's bundled chart templates do not use `lookup`.
### Exposing services on the network
Dokku will automatically expose the `web` process as a Kubernetes Service, with all others being treated as background processes. In some cases, it may be useful to have other processes exposed as Kubernetes Service objects so as to segregate internal http endpoints from public http endpoints. This can be done by modifying the `app.json` Formation entry for your process type.
