fix: advanced modal SSH key discovery and tags delimiter

- Allow ; as alternative to , for tags field (normalize on submit)
- Add GET /api/servers/[id]/discover-ssh-keys to find host SSH keys like native advanced mode
- Advanced modal: fetch discovered keys, dropdown to select + manual paste input
- Label/placeholder: Tags (comma or semicolon separated), e.g. tag1; tag2
