swarm-controller reads its forge token from the store, not a host file

Browse source 
The controller's forge token never entered bao: the forge minted it in its
container, hive-forge-swarm-controller-token copied it to a host file, and the
controller LoadCredential'ed that file. forgeTokenFile defaulted to that path
only where the forge ran, so a controller on any other host had no forge
access unless an operator copied the file by hand.

Now the forge's host publishes it and the controller reads it:

- swarm-bao-forge-publisher (replaces hive-forge-swarm-controller-token)
  waits for the in-container token, logs in with its own forge-publisher leaf
  and writes it to swarm/controller/swarm-controller/forge/token. It runs on
  every forge container start, the old unit's trigger.
- New principal swarm-forge-publisher: leaf minted by glue-bao-tls.nix,
  policy create/update on that one path, written by
  swarm-bao-forge-publisher-policy, CN reserved as a hive name.
- The controller policy gains read on that path. swarm-controller reads it
  at start under its own certificate with the OIDC secret's retry, and runs
  without forge access if it still cannot.
- forgeTokenFile, its LoadCredential and the forgeEnv gate are gone;
  SWARM_CONTROLLER_FORGE_URL is always set. hostSwarmControllerTokenFile is
  removed, and a tmpfiles rule deletes the old host copy on the forge host.

The in-container file stays: the mint unit's only-once guard reads it, and
it is the publisher's source.

### Per-principal identities
Bao matches a cert-auth role on the certificate's subject, so a certificate is an
identity and sharing one merges the identities. These five units read one path
identity and sharing one merges the identities. These six units reach one path
each and each holds a leaf, a role and a policy of its own:

The first exists **per hive**, because the path it reads carries a hive name
and every hive runs its own reader. Its subject is
`<deploy.bao.queueAgentCommonNamePrefix>-<hive>`; `swarm.nix` reserves that
composed spelling as a hive name, so nobody can name a hive into another hive's
role. The other four read a path that names a swarm service rather than a hive,
role. The other five reach a path that names a swarm service rather than a hive,
so one role each is enough and their subjects are the flat

`deploy.bao.forwarderOidcCommonName` and `deploy.bao.ciRunnerCommonName`.
