fix(netbird-server): keep the host mesh client out of DNS

The controller's own NetBird client registered ~renner.uno in systemd-resolved, pointing at the kube-dns-lb nameserver group, which is unreachable from this peer. Every *.renner.uno lookup on the host returned SERVFAIL, and Uptime Kuma, resolving through Docker's embedded DNS and the host stub, marked all HTTP monitors DOWN after the 2026-10-22 update-os reboot. The role now reconnects the client with --disable-dns when its config has DNS management enabled. The flag is only honoured on a fresh up, so the task runs netbird down + up; it is a no-op once disableDns is true. Applied live and verified 2026-10-22 before this commit.
