nix: replace weston RDP backend with VNC, add hyperhive.gui.enable option

Removes weston-rdp.nix (hyperhive.westonRdp.enable) and adds
weston-vnc.nix (hyperhive.gui.enable).

The ExecStart wrapper script computes a deterministic VNC port via
FNV-1a hash of the agent name (derived from hostname, same algorithm
as lifecycle::agent_web_port) in the range [15900, 16799], then writes
/etc/hyperhive/gui.json {"vnc_port": N, "auth": "none"} for the
harness WebSocket relay (issue #51), and execs weston with the VNC
backend + pixman renderer.

Type=simple so it can never abort nixos-container update; a
misconfigured weston degrades to a restart loop, not a blocked rebuild.

Closes #50

`update` tool / rebuild errors now carry the failing-unit
detail without a second `get_logs` call.
- **Just landed:** `hyperhive.westonRdp.enable` option. New
`nix/templates/weston-rdp.nix` declares a per-agent bool;
enabling it runs weston with the RDP backend as a systemd
service (software/pixman render, self-signed TLS cert
generated first-boot under `/var/lib/weston`). Imported by
`harness-base.nix` so every agent has the option; an agent
opts in from its own `agent.nix`. Design note: it's a FLAT
per-agent option, not `hyperhive.agents.<name>.*` — each
agent is its own nixosConfiguration with no cross-agent
view, so the `<name>` indirection is meaningless. The unit
is `Type = "simple"` with an always-exit-0 `ExecStartPre` so
it can never abort `nixos-container update` (a `Type=notify`
weston that never signals READY would fail activation every
reload — the trap `tea-login` documents). A misconfigured
weston degrades to a restart loop in `journalctl`, not a
blocked rebuild.
