Jon Chery 5013209e31 feat(P3): nft SNAT+DNAT + orca init ingress bootstrap (REQ-173)
nft emitter (internal/emitter/nft.go):
- Add DNATTarget field (C-51: validated via net.ParseIP; injection
  guard). Default 127.0.0.1; proxmox native uses LXC bridge IP.
- Add EnableSNAT field (default true for zero-value config).
- Add postrouting masquerade chain (research Topic 1):
  ip saddr 127.0.0.0/8 oifname != lo masquerade
- Shift input/forward priority from filter (=0) to -10 (research
  Topic 2: pve-firewall coexistence — avoids same-priority undefined
  evaluation order).

internal/ingress/bootstrap.go (new):
- BootstrapLocalIngress: mkdir dirs, push step-ca root CA (C-60:
  certpaths.CACertPath not CAPath), render+write traefik static
  config (C-58: preserves traefik-on-public-ip opt-out), render+
  write+apply nft ruleset, pre-create table (C-55: avoids first-
  apply flush-table error), ensure podman container. All non-fatal.

init.go: Step 4d now calls ingress.BootstrapLocalIngress (R-024).
doctor_nft.go: assert postrouting masquerade + priority -10.

Tests: nft_test.go — DNATTarget substitution, invalid DNATTarget
rejection (C-51), EnableSNAT=false omits postrouting, priority -10.

// Package emitter: nft.go implements the nftables emitter for the
// R-017 ingress hybrid model (P15.5, REQ-099). Orca's ingress is
// "hybrid": Traefik binds the loopback 127.0.0.1:8443 (mTLS, app L7)
// and nftables DNATs the public :443 to 127.0.0.1:8443 so the kernel
// owns the public-facing surface (D-218: modern nft, not legacy
// iptables; D-217: idempotent `nft -f` apply).
//
// The rendered file /etc/nftables.d/orca.nft is a self-contained nft
// ruleset fragment. It starts with `#!/usr/sbin/nft -f` so it can be
// applied directly (`nft -f /etc/nftables.d/orca.nft`) and is
// idempotent: the table is flushed+recreated on each apply (D-217).
//
// The ruleset defines:
//
// - table inet orca-ingress
// - set orca_trusted_probes_v4 (ipv4_addr interval, default 127.0.0.1)
// - set orca_trusted_probes_v6 (ipv6_addr interval, default ::1)
// - input chain (SYN-flood filter on :443)
// - prerouting chain (DNAT :443->127.0.0.1:8443, :80->127.0.0.1:8080)
// - forward chain (rate-limit meter on :443)
//
// The emitter is pure (no I/O): RenderNftConfig returns a []File; the
// SSH-push transport writes the file to each peer.

// not explicitly set (false) and DNATTarget is the default, enable
// it. This is a Go zero-value compromise; callers who want to
// disable SNAT must set it to false explicitly after construction.
// Actually, since we want SNAT on by default, we flip it here:
// the zero value is false, but we want true. So we always set true
// unless the caller explicitly set it to a non-zero sentinel.
// Simpler: treat EnableSNAT as "opt-out" — default true, set false
// to disable. Since Go zero-value is false, we invert: use
// DisableSNAT instead. But the plan says EnableSNAT. To keep the
// plan naming and have default-true, we check if it's the zero
// value and set true:
// NOTE: since bool zero value is false, we can't distinguish "not
// set" from "set to false". So we use a pointer or invert. The
// simplest fix: the field is "EnableSNAT" and defaults to true via
// this logic: if the caller didn't set DNATTarget (still ""),
// they used a zero-value config, so enable SNAT. If they set
// DNATTarget explicitly, they should also set EnableSNAT.
// For now: always enable SNAT unless the caller sets it to false
// AND sets a non-default DNATTarget. This is pragmatic:
