Add VPS GitLab mirror-sync CronJob for Homelabv4 repo

GitLab's native pull-mirror feature is Premium/Ultimate-gated on this
chart/version - confirmed live: the project API rejects 'mirror' and
'import_url' as unrecognized params on this CE instance entirely.
Plain git equivalent instead: CronJob every 15min does
'git clone --mirror' from home's Scooby/Homelabv4 (read-only deploy
token) then 'git push --mirror' to the VPS copy (write_repository
PAT, since deploy tokens can't push - not a valid scope for them
either). Matches the original plan's 'Gitea pull mirror of the GitOps
source' intent now that real GitLab replaced Gitea. Both tokens in
Vault at secret/vps/gitlab-mirror, pulled via ExternalSecret.

# Periodic git mirror: home's Scooby/Homelabv4 (the actual GitOps
# source) -> VPS GitLab's copy of the same project. See
# mirror-sync-secret.yaml for why this is a plain CronJob instead of
# GitLab's native pull-mirror feature (Premium-gated, confirmed live
# 2026-08-21). This is the VPS-standby equivalent of the original
# plan's "Gitea pull mirror of the GitOps source" - same intent,
# different mechanism now that real GitLab replaced Gitea here.

# Credentials for mirror-sync-cronjob.yaml. GitLab's native repository
# mirroring (pull mirror) is a Premium/Ultimate-gated feature as of this
# chart version - confirmed live 2026-08-21: the API rejects `mirror`
# and `import_url` as valid params on this CE instance entirely
# ("allow_merge_on_skipped_pipeline, ... are missing" - i.e. neither
# field is even recognized). So this CronJob does the plain-git
# equivalent (clone --mirror / push --mirror) on a schedule instead.
#
# - pull_username/pull_token: read-only deploy token on HOME's
# Scooby/Homelabv4 project (deploy tokens can't have write_repository
# - it's not a valid scope for them, confirmed live).
# - push_username/push_token: a write_repository-scoped Personal Access
# Token for VPS GitLab's root user (deploy tokens can't push either).
