GitLab cross-site replication Phase 1a: Postgres network plumbing

Per the approved plan (jiggly-snacking-iverson.md, 'GitLab True
Cross-Site Replication' section) - replacing the git-mirror CronJob
with real CNPG streaming replication for pg-gitlab and pg-praefect,
reusing the exact pattern already proven for pg-authentik.

This commit is network plumbing only, no DB replication yet:
- Repoint both CNPG clusters' barmanObjectStore backup target from
  in-cluster gitlab-minio-svc to VPS MinIO (also becomes the initial
  seed source for the VPS's replicas in Phase 1c).
- New ha-gitlab-postgres/ha-praefect-postgres NodePort Services
  (bypass CNPG's own -rw Services) on both home and VPS.
- New PeerAuthentication with portLevelMtls PERMISSIVE on the replication
  ports - ambient mesh STRICT default would otherwise reset the
  VPS/witness's connection before the Postgres TLS handshake starts.
- Extended allow-gitlab-access AuthorizationPolicy with a port-scoped
  rule for the same traffic (no source.namespaces rule can match
  external, non-mesh peers).
- CoreDNS rewrites for pg-gitlab.ha.huskypup.net / pg-praefect.ha.huskypup.net
  so home's own pods reach the floating hostname locally instead of
  round-tripping through the WAN forward (no NAT hairpin support).

Still needed before Phase 1b/1c: UniFi WAN port-forwards for external
ports 61442/61443 -> talos-cp-01:32442/32443, source-restricted to the
VPS + witness public IPs (manual, same as the existing 61432 rule).
