chore(homarr): bump homarr to 1.69.2

[mberlofa]

Closes #694.

Summary

• Bump Homarr from v1.68.0 to v1.69.2.
• Update the GHCR Homarr image tag, README upgrade notes, and image assertion tests.
• Add the standard chart validate helper/template so template standards are clean.

Upstream Evidence

• GitHub release: https://github.com/homarr-labs/homarr/releases/tag/v1.69.2
• GHCR image manifest verified: ghcr.io/homarr-labs/homarr:v1.69.2
• Manifest platforms: linux/amd64, linux/arm64.
• The issue listed 1.69.2, but ghcr.io/homarr-labs/homarr:1.69.2 is missing; the chart uses the upstream release/image tag format with the v prefix.
• Homarr v1.69.2 is a patch release fixing layout stacking for the AppShell header above indicator dots. No breaking changes were identified in the upstream release metadata.

Site Sync

• Site PR: docs(homarr): sync 1.69.2 default site#375

• make image-verify IMAGE=ghcr.io/homarr-labs/homarr:v1.69.2
• make image-verify IMAGE=ghcr.io/homarr-labs/homarr:1.69.2 confirmed the non-prefixed tag is missing.
• make deps-check CHART=homarr
• helm unittest charts/homarr passed: 9 suites, 55 tests.
• make validate-chart CHART=homarr passed fully: 19 layers, including k3d behavioral validation for default and all CI values scenarios.
• make standards-check CHART=homarr
• node scripts/charts/template-standards-check.js --chart homarr
• make site-sync-check CHART=homarr
• make release-check REPO=charts
• make attribution-check REPO=charts

Walkthrough

This PR bumps the Homarr Helm chart image/appVersion from 1.68.0 to 1.69.2 across Chart.yaml, values.yaml, README, and deployment tests. It also adds a new homarr.validate named template and a validate.yaml template file that invokes it to trigger existing database mode validation logic.
