Retire gluetun gateway Deployment (ADR-0015: node tunnel validated + conformance-green)

Prepared on a feature branch for operator review — NOT merged/pushed (retiring the running fallback needs explicit approval). The node-level host OpenVPN tunnel steered by Cilium Egress Gateway is validated end-to-end and gated by green conformance (egress-class + vpn-killswitch). A Gluetun pod's tun0 was never steerable by Cilium egress gateway (the reason ADR-0015 moved the tunnel to the node), so gluetun serves no steering role. The now-unused pia-* SOPS secrets are retained pending a separate cleanup (creds are host-side in the Ansible vault). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>

-# Gluetun — the single shared in-cluster VPN egress gateway (ADR-0013): PIA over OpenVPN-UDP, with
-# Gluetun's built-in kill-switch/firewall (fail-closed), health checks, auto-reconnect. `vpn`-class
-# pods are steered through this gateway (see README.md "Egress steering").
-#
-# CUSTOM-PROVIDER mode (DECISIONS-LOG "Phase 3 VPN — custom .ovpn"): gluetun's PIA-provider server
-# selection random-picks server IPs, many of which don't answer this cluster's flows (intermittent
-# TLS timeouts — verified by packet capture: the pod CAN complete a full handshake, only against
-# responsive servers). So we feed gluetun the operator's own PIA `.ovpn`, which pins a known-healthy
-# Stockholm server IP (gluetun's custom parser requires an IP `remote`, not a hostname). Trade-off:
-# custom mode loses gluetun's PIA-native port forwarding (Phase-6/qBittorrent concern) — revisit then.
-#
-# Credentials: `pia-credentials` SOPS Secret (username/password) → OPENVPN_USER/OPENVPN_PASSWORD (the
-# .ovpn uses auth-user-pass). Config: `pia-custom-ovpn` SOPS Secret (key `pia.ovpn`), mounted at
-# /config/pia.ovpn. Both operator-provisioned.
