Add internal reverse proxy for gateways (Caddy, wildcard via DNS-01)

cnx.router.proxy serves <service>.<site><n>.cnx.network with a real Let's
Encrypt wildcard obtained via a gateway-scoped TSIG key against ns1; Blocky
resolves the names to the router's LAN address, so they exist only
internally. First user: Omada UI on gw-cnx-1 (omada.cnx1.cnx.network).

## Internal reverse proxy
`cnx.router.proxy.enable` puts Caddy on the gateway, terminating TLS for
`<service>.<site><n>.cnx.network` (e.g. `https://omada.cnx1.cnx.network`) and
forwarding to internal backends:
```nix
cnx.router.proxy = {
enable = true;
services.omada = {
backend = "https://127.0.0.1:8043";
insecureSkipVerify = true; # Omada's cert is self-signed
};
};
```
- **Cert**: one real Let's Encrypt wildcard `*.<site><n>.cnx.network` per
gateway, issued via ACME DNS-01 (lego/RFC2136) against ns1 — works behind
PPPoE with zero inbound reachability, and browsers trust it without a CA
install. Each gateway has its own TSIG key (`acme_gw_<city>_<n>`) that ns1
scopes to `_acme-challenge.<site><n>` TXT records only.
- **Resolution**: the names exist only internally — Blocky answers
`*.<site><n>.cnx.network` with the router's `lan` address; the public
`cnx.network` zone never carries them.
- **Access**: `proxy.allowVlans` (default `mgmt` + `lan`) get 443 (and 80 for
the HTTP→HTTPS redirect). Not exposed to WAN, guest VLANs, or the mesh.
