fix(build.func): Fix typo - SD should use var_searchdomain not var_storage

refactor(core): Major update to core functions with validation, IPv6 support, and Debian 13 fixes
- alpine-tools.func: Complete rewrite with simplified structure and better error handling - build.func: Add comprehensive validation functions (Container-ID, hostname, MAC, VLAN, MTU, IPv6, bridge, gateway, timezone, tags), storage space validation, improved password handling - core.func: Add ensure_profile_loaded() and get_lxc_ip() functions, improved cleanup_lxc() with fallback error handling - install.func: Fix Debian 13 LXC template bug (root owned by nobody), integrate get_lxc_ip() - tools.func: Add IPv6 fallback support, improved NVIDIA GPU detection (including Open Kernel Module), Debian 13 Trixie support, new setup_meilisearch() function, completely reworked MariaDB setup with distribution package fallback
