Fix: Deleting a git stack no longer clears a same-named stack’s variables on other environments

Fix: Disconnected environments can be deleted without timeout
Fix: Container and stack modals are centered with consistent margins, no longer shifting with the sidebar

Fix: Local-path backups are readable when Dockhand runs with a non-root PUID
