fix(tailscale-router): masquerade LAN traffic into Tailscale
Without SNAT on tailscale0, Tailscale drops forwarded packets from LAN
source IPs (192.168.2.x) because they are not recognised Tailscale
addresses.  With networking.nat.externalInterface = "tailscale0", all
traffic leaving through the Tailscale tunnel is masqueraded to the
router's own Tailscale IP (100.x.x.x), making it indistinguishable from
locally-originated traffic.  Conntrack handles the return path.
