fix(ci): hive-ci prefetch — correct partOf unit name + 401-harden token fetch

Two bugs that together kept the runner registration token from
refreshing (#1475):

1. Unit name: the prefetch's before/wantedBy/partOf targeted
   nixos-container@hive-ci.service, but a declarative containers.<n> is
   the host unit container@<n>.service (confirmed against the live
   container@hive-matrix.service during the #1465 incident). The wrong
   name made all three silent no-ops, so the partOf never bound — the
   RemainAfterExit oneshot stayed 'active (exited)' and never re-ran on
   nixos-container restart, leaving the stale token in place. Corrected
   to container@hive-ci.service.

2. 401-hardening: the registration-token fetch used a bare curl -sf | jq,
   so a forge-core-token that is stale/invalid for the current forge
   (e.g. after a forge rebuild) 401s and fails silently every attempt for
   the full 60s loop, then exits with a misleading 'core token absent or
   forge unreachable'. Now capture the HTTP status and fail fast + loudly
   on 401/403 with a clear message pointing at re-minting the core token.
