run swarm-attic in its own network namespace

the gateway reaches atticd over a unix socket a relay in the container
forwards, and the host unit that creates the cache dials its public name.

The container sits on the hive bridge in a network namespace of its own. atticd
listens on that namespace's loopback (`deploy.attic.port`), and a socket-activated
relay forwards `/run/swarm-attic/atticd.sock` to it, a directory only the
gateway's nginx and the container can open. The gateway terminates TLS with a

attic checks its own tokens, and a nix client can't follow a login redirect.
The two host units reach the cache through the gateway, at
`https://<swarm.attic.domain>`, like every other client; the host resolves the
name through the hive resolver, and where the gateway serves a self-signed
certificate `swarm-bao-attic-tokens` trusts the swarm's CA. The container logs
to its journal only; its journal doesn't reach the swarm log store.

The container sits on the hive bridge in a network namespace of its own, and atticd
listens on that namespace's loopback only; the gateway reaches it over a unix socket.
The gateway serves it at `swarm.attic.domain` (default
`attic.<swarm domain>`, on every host) over TLS, with no login in front, because attic checks
its own tokens. Storage is local disk in the container's state.
