feat(tailscale-router): serve ts.net DNS forward zone for LAN hosts

FreeIPA (the new authoritative DNS) cannot reach 100.100.100.100 (Tailscale's internal MagicDNS resolver) directly because the DC is not a Tailscale node. The tailscale-router IS a Tailscale node and can reach 100.100.100.100 via tailscale0, so it now runs a dnsmasq instance on its LAN interface that forwards all ts.net queries to Tailscale's resolver. After deploying this host, configure FreeIPA with: kinit admin ipa dnsforwardzone-add ts.net \ --forwarder=192.168.2.222 \ --forward-policy=only This replaces Pi-hole's conditional forwarder for ts.net and restores resolution of Tailscale MagicDNS names (e.g. raspberrypi.tail13f623.ts.net) for all LAN hosts using FreeIPA as their DNS server.
