swarm-grafana: deliver the OIDC client secret through the secret store

Grafana's OIDC client secret only existed where authelia did. One
`ssoLocal` gate — `grafana.enable && authelia.enable` — decided the
client registration, the minted secret's delivery and the whole
`auth.generic_oauth` block, so a swarm whose authelia runs on another
host got Grafana with no SSO wiring at all. The local login form is
disabled unconditionally, so that is no way in.

Split the one gate into the two questions it was conflating:

- `ssoConfigured` — does this SWARM have an identity provider
  (`swarm.authelia.url`, which is swarm-wide and whose own description
  makes null mean "no SSO configured"). With a delivery route present
  this is what emits Grafana's OIDC block.
- `ssoLocal` — is authelia on THIS host, now spelled as the forge and
  matrix modules spell it. It decides only which unit delivers the
  secret.

Where authelia is elsewhere, `swarm-bao-grafana-oidc.service` reads the
secret from the swarm secret store, shaped after
glue-queue-agent-credential.nix: cert login fails loudly because a retry
fixes every state it fails on, the read degrades quietly because no
retry turns "no value there" into a value, and nothing writes a
stand-in. The producer is the publisher that already runs on authelia's
host, which gains the swarm's service clients beside the per-hive ones
at `swarm/services/<id>/oidc/client` — with the write grant in
swarm-bao.nix and the hive read grant in `policy::render` to match.

Registration moved to glue-grafana-oidc-client.nix. It has to be
declared where authelia's config is rendered, and swarm-grafana.nix's
config block hangs off this host running Grafana.

Two judgement calls stated rather than buried: a hive's read policy now
grants the whole `services` prefix, because a service's path names the
service and nothing swarm-wide records which hive runs it (cost recorded
in docs/trust-boundary/security.md); and the client is registered on any
authelia host, because no swarm-wide "this swarm has a Grafana" fact
exists to gate it on.

The **third reader** is Grafana's OIDC client secret, and it's the first one
that's a _swarm service's_ own credential rather than a hive's.
`swarm-grafana.nix` asks two questions where it used to ask one: whether this
_swarm_ has an IdP (`swarm.authelia.url`) decides whether Grafana gets SSO
settings at all, and whether authelia is on _this_ host decides only which of
two units delivers the secret — the host copy out of authelia's tree, or
`swarm-bao-grafana-oidc.service` reading `swarm/services/<client-id>/oidc/client`
out of the store. Exactly one of the two exists in any deployment, and where
neither can (no authelia here, no store identity here) the module warns and
emits no OIDC settings rather than pointing Grafana at a file nothing writes.
Registration moved to `glue-grafana-oidc-client.nix` for a related reason: a
client is a row in authelia's own config, so it has to be declared on the host
that runs authelia — which is not necessarily the host that runs Grafana.
A service's secret is one value for the whole swarm rather than one per hive, so
it lives under the `services` prefix, and a hive's read policy grants that prefix
whole. That's because nothing in a swarm's configuration records which hive runs
a given service — placement is a `deploy.*` fact, per-host by definition — so
there is nothing to scope the grant to. Every hive can therefore read every swarm
service's client secret; that's the cost of a shape where the service's host has
no store identity of its own to present, and it's stated in
`swarm-secret-client`'s `policy` module beside the grant itself. Absence behaves
as it does for the other two readers: a store that says "not here" leaves the
file alone and says so, since there is no such thing as a locally valid OIDC
client secret to stand in.
⚠️ **Service↔store mTLS is its own trust domain.** A credential you must
already hold to authenticate can't be fetched from the thing it authenticates
you to, so the store's identity can't come from an authority the store
