Subject: [PATCH] Work around nextcloudpi's broken ssh.socket restart on Debian
 13

Debian 13's openssh-server ships socket-activated by default. NCP's
own bin/ncp/NETWORKING/SSH.sh detects that (systemctl is-active
ssh.socket) but then runs "systemctl restart ssh" in that branch
instead of reloading, which collides with the port ssh.socket already
holds and fails with "Job for ssh.service failed" (#15944). Switch the
container to classic ssh.service before handing off to their
installer so it takes the safe "systemctl reload ssh" branch instead.
