chore: publish the zec2 and zec2online comment updates

Mirror drift, not new behaviour: the private copies had their comments
reworded and the public ones had not caught up.

Two things the new wording carries that the old did not:

zec2 now records WHY it grew an ssh of its own. The container-side version
read referenced three variables the script never defined, and because that
read sits inside a try/catch the failure was silent - it fell through to the
HTTP call and reported nothing once that endpoint stopped being public. A
missing variable and an unreachable service looked identical from the
outside, which is the kind of thing worth writing down next to the fix.

Both files now describe the container-side read by what it is - an endpoint
that is not public on every project - rather than by a product's own
wording, which is what keeps this mirror publishable.

Published with zpublish_zscripts; CHECKSUMS.txt refreshed by the same run
and committed with them, as that script requires.

Tests: 286 passed, 1 skipped across the suite; checksums, plain-text twins
and sanitization re-run after the changelog edit - 70 passed.

README.txt was left out deliberately. Regenerating the twins rewrote it with
LF where the repo stores CRLF, and the content is byte-identical - a no-op
that would only have added noise to this diff.
