beatzaplentyandClaude Sonnet 5 75f1342339 Declaratively trust nix-cache's SSH host key on remote-builder clients
Distributed builds failed with "Host key verification failed" on any
client that had never manually SSH'd to nix-cache before, since
nothing populated root's known_hosts for it. Wire nix-cache's host
public key into programs.ssh.knownHosts via a new vars.nixCacheHostKey
so every client picks it up automatically on rebuild.
