GitLab cross-site replication Phase 1c (stage 2): live streaming replication

Adds externalClusters connectionParameters + replica.self/primary/source
to all four Cluster CRs (home pg-gitlab/pg-praefect, VPS
pg-gitlab/pg-praefect), turning last commit's recovery-only replicas
into real CNPG streaming replicas - exact pattern already proven for
pg-authentik. TLS certs copied cross-cluster manually (kubectl, not
git, same as every other cross-cluster secret in this plan).

Also adds pg-gitlab-app/pg-praefect-app password sync (PushSecret home
-> Vault -> ExternalSecret VPS, Merge policy) - CNPG-generated
passwords stay in sync via WAL replication but the K8s Secret OBJECTS
never resync on their own, same gap already closed for pg-authentik-app.

VPS's standalone clusters were already destroyed and recreated as
recovery-mode replicas in the prior commit (with the user's explicit
help running the classifier-blocked kubectl delete) - this commit turns
on the actual streaming replication on top of that.
