hive-gateway: no hive-domain vhost on a host without a hive

The hive-domain vhost renders only where a hive runs. On a host without
one the only certificate is the swarm-services leaf, which does not name
the hive domain, so a homeserver host without a hive serves matrix on the
homeserver's own name only; apex matrix discovery is #4878.

Comments and test names describe the code's current behaviour.

**Cert shape**: the leaf's CN is the bare hive domain; its SANs are `<hive>` and `*.<hive>`. The hive's role allows nothing outside `<hive>`, so a swarm-service name can't go on this leaf. Those names get the swarm-services leaf instead ([`swarm/ca.md`](../swarm/ca.md)).
**Rotation**: `hive-tls-resign.service` runs at boot, on every deploy and once a day, and asks the store for a new leaf when the current one is missing, past half its 720-hour lifetime, no longer covers the configured names, doesn't match its key, or doesn't chain to the store's root. A leaf already on disk lets the gateway start while the store can't answer; a failed renewal leaves it in place. To force a rotation, delete `gateway.pem` under the state dir and restart the unit; it re-imports the leaf and reloads `nginx` itself.

**Cert prompts**: browsers warn once per host until you add the hive's `trust-bundle.pem` (the anchor, not the leaf) to the browser or OS trust store. A container that needs to trust it for its own outbound TLS gets the bundle a different way, bind-mounted read-only at `/run/hive-ca/trust-bundle.pem` (`nix/host-modules/lib/hive-ca-trust.nix`).
