Stage a ZFS RAID0 disko layout for the bare-metal gui host

Adds modules/disko/baremetal.nix: two disks, each its own top-level
zpool vdev with no mirror/raidz between them (disko's zpool `mode`
defaults to "" for a plain stripe), ESP + systemd-boot on disk1. Device
paths are placeholders in variables.nix (guiRootDisk1/guiRootDisk2)
until the real hardware profile arrives.

Verified structurally by building a throwaway nixosSystem with the
actual disko.nixosModules.disko and reading the generated
system.build.formatScript: it emits `zpool create rpool ... disk1
disk2` with no mirror/raidz keyword, confirming a genuine stripe.

Not yet wired into any flake target -- that happens once the hardware
config lands and a new bare-metal platform module is added, per the
agreed sequencing.

# ZFS RAID0 (striped, no redundancy) root pool for the bare-metal gui
# host — two disks, each contributing its own top-level vdev. disko's
# zpool `mode` defaults to "" (plain stripe) when left unset, which is
# what gives RAID0 semantics here rather than mirror/raidz.
#
# Device paths are placeholders until the real hardware profile lands —
# fill in vars.guiRootDisk1/guiRootDisk2 (stable /dev/disk/by-id/...
# paths, not /dev/sdX) before running disko against real hardware. Swap
# is deliberately left out for now — sizing that sensibly needs the
# box's actual RAM size, which comes with the hardware profile too.
#
# Not yet imported anywhere: this awaits the new bare-metal platform
# module (alongside modules/boot/efi.nix for systemd-boot, matching
# modules/platforms/proxmox.nix's pattern) once the hardware config is
# in hand.
