feat(netbird): drop the cluster-side backup of the controller VPS

Backing up an external server is that server's own business. The pull path
made the cluster responsible for it and, worse, put a root key on the VPS
that the cluster held — a standing inbound grant that existed only to move
a SQLite file.

Removed cluster-side: the netbird-backup namespace and everything in it
(the nightly CronJob, the netbird-backup-ssh ExternalSecret, the 5Gi
ceph-block PVC), the namespace's entry in the OpenBao ClusterSecretStore
allow-list, the netbird-backup-daily Velero Schedule, and the
NetbirdVpsBackupStale / NetbirdVpsBackupNeverRan alerts.

Flux prunes the PVC, which destroys the 14 retained dumps (2026-08-15
through 08-28). That is intended. Velero's existing offsite copies age out
on their own under the schedule's 720h TTL; no cleanup is needed there.

Removed VPS-side: the dump script, and the forced-command key authorising
it. Deleting the two tasks that placed them would only stop ansible
managing them and leave both live on the host, so they are replaced with
state: absent tasks that actually revoke them. Those two can go once the
role has run against every host that ever carried them.

The trmnl-daily schedule's stagger comment pointed at netbird-backup-daily
for its slot; it now points at apps-daily, which is the schedule that
actually precedes it.

-#
-# The tasks are drawn from real workloads:

-#   B  Strict JSON output, five identical runs — Home Assistant intents need
-#      parseable output every time, not usually.
-#   C  German document classification — the Paperless workload.
-#   D  German summarization under a hard length constraint.
