cbc: disable all cannon self-failure

Cannons are expensive to build; users were losing them to RNG
self-destruction (squib, barrel charge burst, overload, interrupted
ignition, catastrophic failure). Per-cannon failure is configurable
via a single master switch in createbigcannons-server.toml:

  [failure]
  disableAllCannonFailure = true

This zeroes out all six failure paths in one go. Applied to the live
server and tracked here under defaultconfigs/ so future server resets
preserve it.

+# ZFS ARC sizing for glados — a mixed-workload host (32 GB RAM).
+#
+# Why these numbers:
+#  - The cold ZFS pool is BACKUP TIER ONLY. Hot data (MC world, Gitea repos,
+#    Directus DB, containers) all live on NVMe LVM, not ZFS — so a large
+#    ARC doesn't help any of the actual workloads.
+#  - Tier-2 backup work is streaming writes (rsync hot→cold every 4h):
+#    streaming writes don't benefit much from cache.
+#  - Reads happen rarely (disaster recovery, Gitea LFS fetches), and a
+#    one-time cold read is fine.
+#  - MC is the memory-hungry workload (10 GB Java heap). Every GB we DON'T
+#    give to ARC is a GB more headroom for MC and future content.
+#
+# 2 GB max / 1 GB min keeps ZFS metadata + small ARC for occasional reads,
+# without crowding MC out of RAM.
