fix(cmdeploy): make tests work with --ssh-host localhost

[missytake]

Taken out of #852, in any case also useful for docker, and anyone who uses ssh-host localhost today.

(let's squash them on merging)

[missytake]

Hm, cmdeploy/src/cmdeploy/tests/online/test_2_deltachat.py::TestMetadataTokens::test_set_get_metadata seems to be a bit flaky.

The journald of chatmaild-metadata claims:

Feb 18 08:56:22 staging-ipv4 systemd[1]: Stopped chatmail-metadata.service - Chatmail dict proxy for IMAP METADATA.

running it later suddenly succeeds. It should be run after the tests which create addresses.

In https://github.com/chatmail/relay/actions/runs/22133199294/job/63978158827?pr=852 it failed again - the logs say, that the chatmail-metadata.service simply wasn't running at the time:

So it's a question of service startup time. We should throw in a systemctl restart after activating dovecot, for good measure.

[missytake]

Hm, seems like directly after activating dovecot, /home/vmail/mail still doesn't exist, chatmail-metadata failed again.

I simply lowered RestartSec for chatmail-metadata - 10 was still a close call until the tests ran, 5 should be a bit safer.

So this should be fixed now, ready for review :)

Looks good to me. Test deployed as docker image, where @local made the tests work :)
