debug: Add comprehensive debugging for drift detection and JSON POSTing

- Add debug output showing rsyslogd_check.diff structure
- Simplify file extraction logic for rsyslog.d directory changes
- Show full JSON payload before sending to API
- Add connectivity test to gitops-status-server before POST
- Show curl command and response codes for debugging
- Display warning if OUT_OF_SYNC but no files extracted

This helps diagnose why drift is detected but files aren't listed in the JSON.
