refactor(ipa): move FreeIPA client to common config with auto-enrollment
Check NixOS configurations / eval-hosts (pull_request) Failing after 9m48s

modules/ipa/client.nix is now a self-contained NixOS module (no longer a
parameterized function): it checks builtins.pathExists for
secrets/<hostname>.keytab at eval time and enables itself automatically if
found, making it a no-op for hosts without a keytab.

modules/common/configuration.nix imports it so every host in the flake is
a candidate for IPA enrollment — no per-host wiring needed. Adding a
keytab (via scripts/ipa/create-nixos-ipa-host-account.sh) is now the
only step required to enroll a host.

The module also sets networking.domain and networking.nameservers via
mkDefault when active, so new hosts don't need those set explicitly.

Also:
- Remove explicit IPA imports from hosts/nix-cache and hosts/tailscale-router
- Add secrets/pxe-boot.keytab + creation rule; remove incorrect
  secrets/nixos.sweet.home.keytab and its creation rule
- Add .sops.yaml creation rules for all remaining host keytabs
  (server, docker, tor-relay, nix-minimal, nixos) so the creation script
  can target them without manual .sops.yaml edits
- Fix duplicate tailscale-router.keytab rule and corrupted gui.yaml comment
  block in .sops.yaml

# Configures security.ipa (SSSD, Kerberos, PAM, NSSwitch) and places a

# Imported by modules/common/configuration.nix — no per-host wiring needed.
# Enables itself automatically on any host that has a sops-encrypted keytab
# at secrets/<hostname>.keytab; is a no-op for all other hosts.
#
# Usage (in a host.nix imports list):
# (import ../../modules/ipa/client.nix {
# keytabSopsFile = ../../secrets/<hostname>.keytab;
# caCertFile = ../../certs/ipa-ca.crt; # already committed — do not re-fetch
# })
#
# The host.nix networking block must also set:
# networking.domain = vars.homeDomain; # needed for Kerberos FQDN
# networking.nameservers = [ vars.domainControllerIp ]; # IPA DNS
#
# One-time operator setup per host (do this BEFORE deploying):
#
# 0. Generate SSH host keys and the host's age key for sops:
# scripts/secrets/sync-host-keys.sh <flake-target>
# This must run before step 1 so the host age key is in .sops.yaml
# and the keytab can be encrypted for the host to read at boot.
#
# 1. Add the IPA host account and produce the sops-encrypted keytab:
# scripts/ipa/create-nixos-ipa-host-account.sh [--ip <addr>] <hostname>
# The script handles ipa host-add, ipa-getkeytab, .sops.yaml patching,
# and sops encryption in one step. See the script header for details.
#
# 2. Wire up the host (see "Usage" above), then deploy:
# nixos-rebuild switch (or create-proxmox-resource.sh)
# No further manual enrollment steps are required after deployment.
# To enroll a new host:
# 0. scripts/secrets/sync-host-keys.sh <flake-target>
# 1. scripts/ipa/create-nixos-ipa-host-account.sh [--ip <addr>] <hostname>
# (adds .sops.yaml rule, runs ipa host-add, encrypts keytab in one step)
# 2. git add secrets/<hostname>.keytab .sops.yaml && git commit
# 3. Deploy — no further steps required.

# a. On the FreeIPA server: ipa host-add <fqdn> [--ip-address=<ip>] --force
