fix(config): isolate system-mode paths behind SOAR_SYSTEM_*

[QaidVoid]

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • System mode now uses SOAR_SYSTEM_* path variables, separate from user-mode settings. System configuration files default to /etc/soar/, and user-mode path overrides no longer redirect system paths.
  • Privileged commands forward configured system path variables so they remain available when running through sudo or doas.
  • soar env displays the environment variable names used by the current mode.

• Documentation

  • Updated CLI, configuration, profile, and declarative configuration guides with system-mode path behavior and defaults.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

System mode now uses SOAR_SYSTEM_* variables for path configuration and expansion, while user mode continues to use SOAR_* variables. The CLI forwards configured system variables during privilege escalation and reports mode-specific variable names.

Changes

System-mode path handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Mode-aware variable resolution crates/soar-utils/src/path.rs, crates/soar-config/src/config.rs	Path expansion now supports renaming variable references. Configuration helpers map path variables to their system-prefixed names in system mode.
Mode-specific configuration and profile paths crates/soar-config/src/config.rs, crates/soar-config/src/profile.rs, crates/soar-config/src/test_utils.rs, crates/soar-core/src/utils.rs, docs/configuration.md, docs/declarative.md, docs/profiles.md	Config and profile paths resolve using variables for the active mode. System config files use system-prefixed overrides or /etc/soar defaults. Tests and documentation describe separation between user and system variables.
CLI escalation and environment listing crates/soar-cli/src/main.rs, docs/cli-reference.md, docs/health.md	The CLI forwards configured system path variables through sudo or doas. The environment listing uses names for the active mode.

In `@docs/cli-reference.md`:
- Around line 236-239: Update the sudoers guidance in the `SOAR_SYSTEM_*`
documentation to remove the recommendation to whitelist `/usr/bin/env` and warn
that allowing it independently permits arbitrary root commands. Recommend
leaving those variables unset in the calling shell or configuring them through
sudoers environment settings so Soar invokes the binary directly.
