Ubuntu 26.04 uses ~60MB more baseline memory than Debian 13 at idle (160MB vs 98MB). In the es_kibana and cert_renewal scenarios, ES 9.x hits the 4GB cgroup limit and fails with "unable to create native thread" because there's no room for new thread stacks after the JVM heap and file cache fill up.

Bumps ES nodes from 4096MB to 4608MB in es_kibana, and from 4096/5632MB to 4608/6144MB in cert_renewal. This gives 512MB of extra headroom which is enough for the heavier cloud-image-based distros without affecting the capacity gate.

Ubuntu 26.04 has ~60MB higher baseline memory usage than Debian 13,
which causes ES 9.x to fail with "unable to create native thread" when
the 4GB cgroup limit leaves no room for new thread stacks. Bump ES nodes
from 4096MB to 4608MB in es_kibana and cert_renewal scenarios.
