v2: complete rewrite — sync only user data, not system dirs

Sync scope: /home, /root, /usr/local, /opt, /var/lib, /etc
- System binaries (/usr/bin, /usr/lib, etc.) NOT synced
- apt packages saved as name list, restored via apt install
- No symlink/permission issues (no /bin, /etc/alternatives)
- ~500 files instead of 20000+, all uploads succeed
