feat(ipa): add Home Manager config for IPA primary user
Check NixOS configurations / eval-hosts (pull_request) Failing after 40m50s

Any enrolled host now automatically gets a Home Manager profile for the
IPA primary user (vars.ipaUser = "wayne"), covering what IPA doesn't:
dotfiles, user-scoped packages (tmux, sshfs), and EDITOR variable.

The home directory is pre-created by systemd-tmpfiles so HM activation
succeeds on steady-state systems before first login; pam_mkhomedir remains
as a fallback for fresh deploys where SSSD hasn't cached the user yet.

A minimal users.users stub satisfies NixOS's assertion requirements
(isNormalUser + group) that arise because home-manager.useUserPackages
creates a users.users entry to install packages to /etc/profiles/per-user/.
The stub is shadowed by SSSD at runtime (security.ipa sets passwd: sss files).
