fix(backup): carve the btrfs snapshot inside its subject, not beside it

The kernel refuses a snapshot whose destination sits on another
filesystem. Placing it at <parent>/.baudolo-<tag> hit that on the most
sensible layout there is: a dedicated disk mounted straight onto
/var/lib/docker, where the parent directory belongs to a different
filesystem and every run failed with EXDEV.

Placing it at <subject>/.baudolo-<tag> makes source and destination the
same filesystem by construction, so the failure cannot occur on any
layout. It also aligns the two backends: the zfs path already resolves
its snapshot inside the subject, at <subject>/.zfs/snapshot/<tag>.

btrfs does not include nested subvolumes in a snapshot, so a leftover
from an interrupted run appears in the next snapshot as an empty
directory rather than recursing, and the copy only ever reads the volume
tree below it.
