feat(ConfigurationModal): add Container ID (CTID) and DNS Search Domain to advanced install

- Add optional Container ID (CTID) field at top of advanced form (var_ctid)
- Add DNS Search Domain field in Network section (var_searchdomain)
- Validate CTID when set: integer >= 100; empty = use next available ID
- Both fields optional; empty values omitted from env so script uses defaults
