atlas d2fb4bff79 feat(#3125): reshape the hive-to-swarm OTEL hop by domain
Drops swarm.otel.url (a loopback default an operator had to override on a
split host) in favor of swarm.otel.domain -- the same
gateway.localNames + nginx-vhost-through-the-gateway shape every other
swarm service (authelia, grafana, victoriametrics, ui) already uses. The
hive tier's exporter now reaches it as https://<domain> unconditionally,
resolved locally by dnsmasq on a co-located host and over the real network
otherwise, instead of a config knob nobody sets until they hit the silent
drop.

Costs CA trust on the hive tier: otel.nix wires
lib/hive-ca-trust.nix's trustBundle with hostUnit = true on the
opentelemetry-collector host unit, the same flag #3441/#3442 added for
swarm-controller and hive-c0re.

# The swarm's telemetry collector: one per swarm, in a `swarm-otel`
# nixos-container beside the swarm's other shared services.
#
# Two tiers, and they are separate on purpose:
#
# - `otel.nix` is the **hive** tier. It receives from this hive's agents
# on the bridge and forwards, and it holds no upstream credential.
# - this is the **swarm** tier. It is the only holder of the upstream
# credential, the only writer to the swarm's metrics store, and the
# place that will stamp `hive=` from the authenticated connection
# rather than from anything a sender can choose.
#
# On a host that runs both, both processes run. They are not collapsed:
# all-local is a statement about *where* processes run, not about what
# shape the deployment has, and a local tier boundary that disappears is
# one the local deployment stops testing. `hive=` attribution is the
# property that would differ, and the ingest auth that makes it
# unforgeable is built on this boundary existing.
#
# A container rather than a second host unit, for the same reason every
# sibling swarm service is one — and because `services.opentelemetry-collector`
# is a singleton NixOS option, already spoken for on the host by the hive
# tier. A container gets its own evaluation and therefore its own collector.

Run the swarm's telemetry collector on this host.
Asserted from `swarm.enableRequiredServices` in
./swarm-required-services.nix, with the metrics pair this
collector feeds: a swarm has one of these, and it belongs
wherever the shared services live rather than on every hive.
A hive that does not run it still runs its own hive-tier collector
(`services.hyperhive.otel.enable`) and reaches this one by name, at
{option}`services.hyperhive.swarm.otel.domain`.

Port this collector's OTLP/HTTP receiver listens on.
**Deliberately not 4318**, the OTLP/HTTP default, because the
hive tier already uses it (`services.hyperhive.otel.collector.port`)
and every swarm container shares the host's network namespace. Two
listeners claiming one port on one host is not a build failure
it is a runtime coin toss over which one gets it, with nothing in
any log saying so. The same collision cost a release when grafana
and the forge both defaulted to 3000.

Port this collector serves its **own** metrics on queue depth,
refused and dropped samples, exporter failures. How you find out
that telemetry is being lost, so it is worth keeping rather than
switching off.
**Deliberately not 8889's neighbour 8888**, which is the
collector's built-in default and therefore what the hive tier
already binds. Two collectors share a network namespace whenever
they are co-located, and unlike the OTLP port this one appears
nowhere in either config it is a default inside the binary, so
nothing that compares configured ports can see the clash. The
second collector to start simply dies with
`bind: address already in use`.

Name the gateway serves this on. A sibling of the swarm's other
service names, so the swarm-services sub-CA can issue for it see
`hive-tls.nix` for why a service name being a sibling rather than a
child decides which CA may sign it.
This is what the **hive** tier's exporter reaches the hive
collector is a plain producer against this name exactly like every
other client of a swarm service, resolved locally by dnsmasq on a
co-located host and over the real network otherwise. There is no
separate loopback-vs-remote knob to get wrong: `swarm-nats` is the
deliberate exception to this pattern (its cross-hive reach is the
wireguard mesh, not the gateway), everything else in this swarm
addresses its siblings by name.
