Add a single source of truth in tests/e2e/helpers.py for the database
images and their in-container data dirs (POSTGRES_IMAGE=postgres:alpine,
POSTGRES_DATA_DIR=/var/lib/postgresql, MARIADB_IMAGE=mariadb:latest,
MARIADB_DATA_DIR=/var/lib/mysql) and route every test through it.
postgres:alpine now tracks 18+, which refuses a mount at
/var/lib/postgresql/data and stores data under /var/lib/postgresql, so
the mounts and the marker path move there. Drop the --rsync-image and the
renamed hard-restart flag from the invocations.

- read databases.csv with stable types (dtype=str, keep_default_na=False)
- validate database field: require '*' or concrete name (no empty/NaN)
- support Postgres cluster dumps via '*' entries (pg_dumpall)
- write SQL dumps atomically to avoid partial/empty files
- early-skip fully ignored volumes before creating backup directories
- update seed CLI to enforce new contract and update by (instance,database)
- adjust tests: sql dir naming + add E2E coverage for early-skip and '*' seeding
- rename dump-only flag to --dump-only-sql across docs and tests
- update backup logic: skip files/ only for DB volumes when dumps succeed; fallback to files when dumps fail
- extend e2e helpers to support dump_only_sql
- add e2e mixed-run regression test (DB dump => no files/, non-DB => files/)
- add e2e CLI/argparse contract test (--dump-only-sql present, --dump-only rejected)
- fix e2e files test to expect file backups for non-DB volumes in dump-only-sql mode and verify restore
- update changelog + README flag table
