fix(tailscale-router): actually insert MASQUERADE rule via extraCommands
networking.nat.externalInterface without internalInterfaces creates the
nixos-nat-post chain but inserts no MASQUERADE rule into it — confirmed
by inspecting the live firewall-start script on the deployed host.

Add the rule explicitly via firewall.extraCommands targeting nixos-nat-post,
scoped to LAN source traffic (vars.lanCidr) going out tailscale0.
extraStopCommands removes it on firewall stop.
