fix(ansible): compare sshd -T output case-insensitively

The second deploy-ssh-ca run on proxy-1 failed at the assert although
all three settings were active: OpenSSH 10.6 prints them as
TrustedUserCAKeys, AuthorizedPrincipalsFile and RevokedKeys, the check
expected lowercase keywords. The run stopped before the reload, so the
running sshd still has the old config.
