check_and_enable_services: a warning must never mask an error
Eight checks assigned status="warning" unconditionally, so a check running
later in the same function overwrote the status="error" an earlier one had
set. The five other sites in this family already guard the assignment with
`if [[ $status != "error" ]]`, so this was an inconsistency, not a design.

Only half of it was load-bearing, and the two halves fail differently:

  services_units.sh (4 sites) reports through report_and_fix, which repairs
  ONLY on "error". A downgrade there meant no repair ran at all. The is-active
  check is the LAST status assignment in each of the three functions, so it
  could mask any error above it -- in check_periodic_systems, three separate
  is-enabled checks. A timer that was both disabled and inactive, which is the
  ordinary shape of a broken timer, was reported and then left broken.

  services_hosts.sh (4 sites) gates its own repair on `status != "ok"`, so the
  repair still ran. There the bug printed a real error as a yellow [!] warning
  and understated the summary row.

Demonstrated rather than argued, against a simulated broken machine (timer
disabled AND inactive, unit files present):

  without the guards:  status=warning, repair ran 0 times
  with the guards:     status=error,   repair ran 1 time

The seven assertions that previously pinned the broken behaviour now assert
the correct behaviour; they were rewritten first and failed, then the guards
made them pass. Two further cases cover the masking shape directly: a broken
guard-lib instance must still be repaired when a later check warns.

`--status --dry-run` output is still byte-identical to rev 6691cb26, because
this machine has no disabled timer and no missing pacman hook -- the buggy
path is never taken here, which is precisely why it went unnoticed. The A/B
above is the evidence the live diff cannot provide.

222 assertions across 10 files. services_units.sh holds 100% coverage;
services_hosts.sh rises from 86.05% to 93.02%. test_services_hosts.sh needed
splitting twice to stay under the 250-line cap (hosts_fix, resolved), and
stage_hosts_ok moved into the harness so both new files can use it.
