Splunk Enterprise: start the service as the splunk user (#17816)

* Splunk Enterprise: start the service as the splunk user

Splunk Enterprise 10.2 rejects a root start, and the init boot script still launched splunkd as root.

* Ask for the Splunk terms on the Proxmox host

The installer runs under lxc-attach, which has no terminal, so read failed before the terms could be accepted.

* Restore the Splunk terms prompt to the install script

The prompt already runs where the keyboard is attached. The failed read came from launching the test through a pipe.

* Drop Splunk install comments and always start Splunkd
