GitLab cross-site replication Phase 2b: enable Gitaly + workhorse TLS

Per the approved plan (Istio federation scoped separately, current
NodePort/PeerAuth/cert-manager pattern continues for these 2 remaining
links). Real Let's Encrypt certs (not self-signed) via the same DNS-01
ClusterIssuer used everywhere else - both sites already trust Let's
Encrypt's public CA, no custom CA distribution needed.

- global.gitaly.tls.enabled: adds tls_listen_addr (8076) alongside the
  existing plaintext listener (8075, stays for in-cluster traffic
  that doesn't need it). Requires
  global.praefect.virtualStorages[0].tlsSecretName (chart's own NOTES.txt
  validation rejects the render without it, confirmed live).
- global.workhorse.tls.enabled + global.workhorse.host: Gitaly's [gitlab]
  url (internal-API callback for gitlab-shell hooks) switches from an
  unpublishable *.svc.cluster.local name to a real floating hostname
  (gitlab-internal-api.ha.huskypup.net) that Let's Encrypt CAN certify -
  confirmed live this replaces the plaintext [[listeners]] block with
  [listeners.tls] on the SAME port (8181), not a second port like Gitaly.
- praefect-ha-configmap.yaml (the manually-patched live config) updated
  to tls:// + floating hostnames for all 3 home nodes, so home's own
  Praefect uses the identical addresses it'll hand the VPS as peer
  addresses once Phase 2b's 4th node lands.
- New CoreDNS rewrite for gitlab-internal-api.ha.huskypup.net (same
  local-rewrite pattern as pg-*/gitaly-* already have).

Sequencing note: applying live - Certificates must issue before the
TLS-enabling values land, or Gitaly/webservice pods fail to start
(missing secret for their init container's cert copy).

# GitLab cross-site replication Phase 2b (see
# /home/scooby/.claude/plans/jiggly-snacking-iverson.md) - exposes each
# of home's 3 existing Gitaly nodes individually to the VPS over the
# Netbird mesh, so Praefect can register the VPS as a 4th node in the
# SAME virtual storage and inter-Gitaly replication RPCs can reach each
# node directly. Per-pod (not per-StatefulSet), unlike the chart's own
# gitlab-gitaly-default Service - Praefect/Gitaly must address each node
# individually, not load-balance across them.

# Reached over the Netbird mesh (100.108.x.x), NOT the UniFi WAN forward
# used for Postgres - Gitaly's gRPC here is PLAINTEXT (carries the
# gitaly_token, the gitlab_shell_secret, and raw repository contents),
# unlike CNPG's TLS-negotiated stream. Home's nodes are directly
# reachable from Netbird peers on their real node IP (confirmed live for
# the ha-failover etcd precedent - infrastructure/ha-failover/manifests/
# etcd.yaml), so NodePort binds on that same interface without any
# additional exposure.
# Reached over the same public UniFi WAN forward already used for
# Postgres, NOT the Netbird mesh directly - confirmed live the direct-
# Netbird-IP path doesn't accept inbound connections to home (same gap
# already present for the existing etcd quorum; the earlier assumption
# that NodePort binds on a reachable Netbird interface was wrong).
# Targets Gitaly's TLS port (8076), not the plaintext one (8075) -
# Gitaly's gRPC has no built-in transport security, and this WAN hop
# would otherwise carry the gitaly_token, gitlab_shell_secret, and raw
# repository contents in plaintext. See gitaly-tls-certificate.yaml and
# global.gitaly.tls.enabled in values.yaml.
