docs(freeipa): update IPs and remove Pi-hole references

- IPA now runs at 192.168.2.253 (previously shown as .138 in install docs)
- cloud-init nameserver and nmcli DNS during install use .254 (gateway)
  since IPA isn't running yet at that point
- --forwarder updated to 192.168.2.254 (LAN gateway, Pi-hole is gone)
- Remove Step 7 (Pi-hole DNS forwarding config) from install.md
- Delete obsolete freeipa/docs/pihole-dns.md and configure-pihole-dns.sh
- Update CLAUDE.md section count and freeipa/ guidance entry
- Update freeipa/README.md IP and DNS forwarding description

-# Pi-hole DNS forwarding for sweet.home
-
-FreeIPA's BIND instance is the authoritative DNS server for the
-`sweet.home` zone. Pi-hole (at `192.168.2.253`) is the LAN resolver
-for everything else. To make Kerberos, LDAP, and host lookups work
-from all LAN clients, Pi-hole must forward `sweet.home` queries to
-the domain-controller.
-
-## What needs configuring
-
-One dnsmasq directive on Pi-hole:
-
-```
-server=/sweet.home/192.168.2.138
-```
-
-This makes Pi-hole forward every `*.sweet.home` query (and the bare
-`sweet.home` zone) to `192.168.2.138` (domain-controller) instead
-of its upstream resolver.
-
-## How to apply
-
-Use `scripts/configure-pihole-dns.sh` for an automated, idempotent
-application, or apply manually as below.
-
-### Manual — Pi-hole v6 (TOML config)
-
-Pi-hole v6 reads custom dnsmasq options from:
-```
-/etc/pihole/pihole.toml  →  dns.customDnsEntries
-```
-or from drop-in files in `/etc/dnsmasq.d/`. The drop-in approach
-is more robust across upgrades:
-
-```bash
-ssh <pihole-host>
-echo 'server=/sweet.home/192.168.2.138' \
-  | sudo tee /etc/dnsmasq.d/10-ipa-sweet-home.conf
-sudo pihole restartdns
-```
-
-Verify:
-```bash
-dig +short _kerberos._udp.sweet.home SRV @192.168.2.253
-# Should return: 0 100 88 domain-controller.sweet.home.
-dig +short domain-controller.sweet.home A @192.168.2.253
-# Should return: 192.168.2.138
-```
-
-## Why this is required
-
-FreeIPA clients use DNS SRV records to discover the KDC, LDAP server,
-and other IPA services. Without the forwarder, Pi-hole returns NXDOMAIN
-for `_kerberos._udp.sweet.home` and `_ldap._tcp.sweet.home`, which
-causes `kinit` and IPA client enrollment to fail — even if the IP
-address is reachable.
-
-## Records IPA publishes
-
-Once forwarding is set up, Pi-hole clients will be able to resolve:
-
-| Record | Type | Value |
-|--------|------|-------|
-| `domain-controller.sweet.home` | A | `192.168.2.138` |
-| `_kerberos._udp.sweet.home` | SRV | `0 100 88 domain-controller.sweet.home` |
-| `_kerberos._tcp.sweet.home` | SRV | `0 100 88 domain-controller.sweet.home` |
-| `_ldap._tcp.sweet.home` | SRV | `0 100 389 domain-controller.sweet.home` |
-| `_kpasswd._udp.sweet.home` | SRV | `0 100 464 domain-controller.sweet.home` |
-| `_kerberos.sweet.home` | TXT | `"SWEET.HOME"` |
-| `ipa-ca.sweet.home` | A | `192.168.2.138` |
