fix: only pull app images during deploy, not infra images

docker compose pull without arguments pulls ALL services including
getmeili/meilisearch:latest — a recent Meilisearch version bump broke
compatibility with existing data on the server, causing meilisearch to
crash immediately on restart.

CI deploy now only pulls the 5 custom app images (backend, runner, ui,
caddy, pocketbase). Infrastructure images (meilisearch, valkey, minio,
redis, crowdsec) are updated deliberately via `just pull-infra`.

Also add pocketbase to `just pull-images` now that it's a custom image.
