Adds optional support for running the playbook on Synology DSM 7+, detected automatically via /etc/synoinfo.conf so that non-Synology hosts are unaffected. Includes DSM-native user/group management (synouser/synogroup), a requests version constraint for Docker SDK compatibility, and a boot-fix service that re-shares the volume mount and starts matrix services skipped by DSM's boot ordering. The shared-mount volume path is configurable via matrix_base_synology_volume_path, and the make-shared step only runs when the volume is not already shared.
