Add tailscale-exit-node build type across all three platforms

New build type dedicated to Tailscale exit-node capability, wired up for
linode/proxmox/lxc like every other build type (the lxc variant is the one
actually intended for deployment). Kept separate from the "server" host
rather than bundling exit-node capability onto it.

Trimmed modules/tailscale/exit-node.nix down to pure exit-node behavior:
dropped the old --advertise-routes=${vars.lanCidr} bundling (meaningless
for a Linode-hosted VPS with no path to the LAN), and switched
extraUpFlags -> extraSetFlags. Confirmed against nixpkgs' tailscale.nix
that extraUpFlags is only applied by tailscaled-autoconnect, which itself
only runs when services.tailscale.authKeyFile is set -- nothing in this
repo sets one, so the old flags would never have actually been applied.
extraSetFlags runs unconditionally via tailscaled-set on every boot, so
--advertise-exit-node self-reapplies once the operator has done the
one-time manual `tailscale up` auth.

Verified: all three new targets eval cleanly, nixpkgs-fmt/statix clean,
and a dry-run build of lxc-tailscale-exit-node's tarball resolves its full
closure including tailscaled-set.service.

# filtering that "both" would also turn on. Deliberately left unbundled
