nix: re-run the host's store fetches on a ten-minute timer

Browse source 
Seven host oneshots fetch a secret from the swarm secret store into a file
their consumer loads at start: swarm-bao-grafana-oidc, swarm-bao-otel-oidc,
swarm-bao-matrix-oidc, swarm-bao-ci-runner, swarm-bao-forge-oidc,
swarm-bao-hive-otel-oidc and swarm-bao-forwarder-oidc. Each was
RemainAfterExit with no timer, so it ran at boot or deploy and never again:
a secret re-minted in the store reached its consumer only through an
operator restarting the fetch.

lib/store-refresh-timer.nix gives each one a timer (OnUnitInactiveSec 10min,
RandomizedDelaySec 1min, the agent's own store re-read interval), and each
drops RemainAfterExit so a timer start is not a no-op. Each script already
writes the file only when secret_differs, and refresh_consumer/refresh_unit
restart the consumer only when the file is newer than its last start, so a
run reading an unchanged value restarts nothing.

Two docs said these units do not run on a timer; credentials.md's
ci-runner row said the runner token is not re-pulled.

Part of #5017 (slice T).

(`deploy.bao.clientCertFile`): `swarm-bao-hive-otel-oidc.service` fetches
`swarm/hives/<hive>/oidc/client`, which the publisher on authelia's host
writes. It runs at boot and retries every 30s until the store answers; when a
run lands a changed value it restarts the collector. It doesn't run on a timer,
so a secret rotated later arrives the next time the unit runs. On a hive that
run lands a changed value it restarts the collector. A timer runs it again
every ten minutes, so a secret rotated later reaches the collector within
about ten minutes. On a hive that
runs the store the leaf is already there; elsewhere it's the credential you
place — see [secret placement](../swarm/secrets.md).
