fix(ipa): work around OpenSSH 10 AuthorizedKeysCommand path check
OpenSSH 10.0 tightened AuthorizedKeysCommand security by checking every
path component of the command binary for group/world-write permission.
/nix/store is 1775 (group-writable by nixbld), so sshd silently skips
the command for any binary in the Nix store — causing IPA pubkey auth to
silently fail with no diagnostic.

Fix: copy sss_ssh_authorizedkeys to /usr/local/bin via systemd tmpfiles
(C+ copies the file rather than symlinking, so the path at runtime is
root-owned/755 throughout), and point AuthorizedKeysCommand at the copy.

# Fully declarative FreeIPA domain membership.
#
# Configures security.ipa (SSSD, Kerberos, PAM, NSSwitch) and places a
# pre-provisioned host keytab via sops-nix so no imperative ipa-client-install
# step is needed after deployment.
#
# Usage (in a host.nix imports list):
# (import ../../modules/ipa/client.nix {
# keytabSopsFile = ../../secrets/nix-cache.keytab;
# caCertFile = ../../certs/ipa-ca.crt;
# })
#
# One-time operator setup per host (do this BEFORE deploying):
#
# 1. Fetch the IPA CA certificate (public — safe to commit):
# curl -o certs/ipa-ca.crt http://<ipa-server>/ipa/config/ca.crt
# Replace the placeholder at certs/ipa-ca.crt and commit it.
#
# 2. On the FreeIPA server, add the host and generate a keytab:
# ipa host-add <fqdn> --ip-address=<ip>
# ipa-getkeytab -s <ipa-server> -p host/<fqdn> -k /tmp/<host>.keytab
#
# 3. sops-encrypt the keytab as a binary secret from your admin machine
# (must run from repo root; sops matches creation rules against the file
# path, so copy to secrets/ first and encrypt in-place):
# cp /tmp/<host>.keytab secrets/<host>.keytab
# sops -e --input-type binary -i secrets/<host>.keytab
# Add secrets/<host>.keytab to .sops.yaml with the host's age key as a
# recipient (see the nix-cache.keytab entry for the pattern), then run:
# scripts/secrets/sync-host-keys.sh <target> # if not done yet
# sops updatekeys secrets/<host>.keytab
# Commit the encrypted file.
#
# 4. nixos-rebuild switch (or create-proxmox-resource.sh) — no further
# manual enrollment steps required.
