Add beszel-agent: agent-only Beszel install for remote/homelab boxes

Browse Source 
For monitoring a box that isn't the VPS (e.g. a homelab machine): only the
agent needs to run there, and it connects OUTBOUND to the hub over HTTPS
using the same key + universal token flow the hub-side installer already
uses — no VPN, no router port-forwarding, and no FQDN needed on that box,
since nothing on it ever needs to be reached FROM the hub.

New register_service beszel-agent in services/beszel.sh (a second
registration in the same file, precedented by base.sh's base+glow) reuses
_beszel_configure_agent's paste/parse UX for the key/token instead of
duplicating it — that function's signature changed from a bare hub port to
a full login-URL string so both the local-hub path and this new
agent-only path can share it.

Run on the remote box: sudo ./setup.sh beszel-agent
