samba: restart the pod when smb.conf changes

smb.conf is rendered from samba.shares and mounted with subPath, so adding,
renaming or re-scoping a share rewrote the ConfigMap while the running smbd
kept its old share list: the pod template was unchanged, nothing restarted,
and the kubelet does not refresh subPath mounts. The share simply did not
exist for clients while the release looked healthy - the failure mode from #82.

The pod template now carries checksum/config over the rendered ConfigMap.

users.conf cannot be covered the same way: it comes from a 1Password-backed
Secret whose content Helm never sees, and the operator's auto-restart only
handles Deployments, not this StatefulSet. values.yaml now documents that
limitation and the manual rollout restart it requires.

Major bump: runtime behavior changes - a share change now costs a restart of
the samba pod, which drops open SMB sessions (share data lives on PVCs and is
unaffected).
