nix/hive-gateway: switch to JSON port table per mara on #740 (#15 v0, option B)

mara on PR #740 comment 9295: "we decided to go with the json" (issue #15 comment 9270:
"nginx container lives in system config, so it cannot be just rebuilt
from meta flake. go for the json file the c0re writes").

Drops:
- `cfg.agents` listOf str option
- Replicated FNV-1a hash + char-code table + manager-port special case
- Drift-hazard comment (no more rust↔nix constant sync)

Adds:
- `cfg.agentPortsFile = "/var/lib/hyperhive/agent-ports.json"` (default,
  nullable to disable) — path to a JSON map of `{ "<name>": <port> }`
  written by hive-c0re on every topology change.
- `agentPortsTable` reads the file at eval time via
  `builtins.fromJSON (builtins.readFile path)`, guarded by
  `builtins.pathExists` so a missing file gracefully defaults to `{}`.
- Per-agent locations generated via `lib.mapAttrs'` over the table —
  one location block per entry; empty table → empty attrset → no
  per-agent blocks, pre-#15 shape.

Rust-side dependency: hive-c0re needs to emit the JSON file on every
topology change. Coordinating with damocles via a separate ping — the
nix side ships now with safe defaults (missing file = no routes, no
behavior change vs main).

Verified:
- nix eval with `/tmp/test-agent-ports.json` → 4 per-agent blocks at
  correct ports (8178 iris, 8267 argus, 8304 atlas, 8549 damocles)
- nix eval with nonexistent file → only `/` location (graceful default)
- full container toplevel builds clean with matrix on

Empty file case mirrors the previous empty-list default — purely
additive, old `<host>:<port>/` direct reach untouched, no per-agent
blocks until c0re writes the JSON. Operator can also `null` the
option to disable entirely.

# Per-agent web port, mirroring `hive-c0re::lifecycle::agent_web_port`

# to without a runtime contract. The manager is fixed at
# `MANAGER_PORT`; every sub-agent is `WEB_PORT_BASE + FNV-1a(name) %

Sub-agent names to expose at `http(s)://<gateway>/agent/<name>/`
through the gateway (#15 v0). For each name in the list, the
gateway adds a `location /agent/<name>/` block that
`proxy_pass`es to `http://127.0.0.1:<port>/`, where `<port>` is
derived from the same `agent_web_port(name)` hash hive-c0re
uses internally (`lifecycle.rs` constants + FNV-1a, replicated
in this module's `let` block).
Path to a JSON file mapping sub-agent names to their web ports
for `/agent/<name>/` routing through the gateway (#15 v0).
Shape: `{ "<name>": <port>, ... }`. Written by hive-c0re on
every topology change (the rust side knows the canonical port
allocation via `lifecycle::agent_web_port`; the gateway just
reads what it's told).
**Purely additive** the old `http://<host>:<port>/` direct
reach still works in parallel; this just gives the operator a
single-origin route. Manager isn't included (no per-agent
prefix needed; manager already gets the `/` route via the
c0re upstream block).
For each `<name>: <port>` entry, the gateway adds a
`location /agent/<name>/` block that `proxy_pass`es to
`http://127.0.0.1:<port>/`. Empty / missing file no
per-agent routes generated gateway falls back to its pre-#15
shape (just `/` + matrix surfaces).
Empty list (default) leaves the gateway in its pre-#15 shape:
no per-agent routes, only `/` (c0re) + `/matrix/` (fluffychat
when matrix is on) + `.well-known/matrix/*` (matrix
autodiscovery).
**Purely additive**: the old `http://<host>:<port>/` direct
reach keeps working in parallel; this just gives the operator
a single-origin route. Manager isn't included in the map (no
per-agent prefix needed; manager already gets the `/` route
via the c0re upstream block).
Maintenance: this list is currently operator-managed (the
gateway runs at the host level, the agent list lives in the
meta-flake at runtime, and the host's nix eval doesn't see
the meta-flake's agent dirs). Follow-up tracked at #15:
either auto-derive from
`/var/lib/hyperhive/meta/topology.json` via `lib.importJSON`
in the gateway module (gives a single source of truth at the
cost of an eval-time impurity), or have c0re write an nginx
snippet that the container `include`s + reloads on topology
change (decouples from rebuilds entirely; also handles the
eventual move to per-agent unix sockets).
Set to `null` to disable per-agent routing entirely without
creating the file. Set to a custom path if the operator's c0re
writes the table elsewhere.
**Rebuild trigger**: the gateway container picks up new entries
on the next `nixos-rebuild switch` (or `hivectl gateway-sync`
if that helper lands). c0re writes are not auto-applied to a
running gateway see the follow-up in #15 for runtime nginx
include + reload + eventual per-agent unix sockets.
