fix: force-remove running containers in prune service and healthcheck

The docker-prune systemd service and healthcheck script used
"docker container prune -f" which only removes stopped containers.
Running containers from failed/interrupted molecule tests accumulated
indefinitely on runner hosts, consuming disk and memory, causing CI
test speed variance (12s → 39s for identical test suites).

Changes:
- docker-prune.service.j2: stop+rm ALL containers before system prune
- runner-healthcheck.sh.j2: force-remove all containers when disk
  threshold is hit, use "system prune -af --volumes" for thorough cleanup
- template-content/verify.yml: update assertions to match new templates

The molecule_ci_guard.py in devx was also updated to run "molecule
destroy" on test failure/interruption, preventing containers from
being left running in the first place.
