feat(tailscale): enable UDP GRO forwarding on subnet router uplink
Adds a oneshot systemd service that sets ethtool rx-udp-gro-forwarding on
and rx-gro-list off on the default-route interface at boot, silencing
Tailscale's warning about suboptimal UDP GRO forwarding on subnet routers.
Interface is discovered dynamically via `ip route get` so it works on all
platforms regardless of NIC naming.
