Pull images via artifactapi; make transform tier stateless

Three changes from review:

1. Pull every container image through the artifactapi dockerhub remote instead
   of direct upstream: clickhouse-server, altinity operator + metrics-exporter,
   bitnami/kubectl (crdHook), nats + nats-server-config-reloader, nats-box
   (bootstrap Job), and vector (all tiers + the CI image). Requires
   terraform-artifactapi#16 (dockerhub allowlist patterns) merged first.

2. Keep upstream official images (no Docker Hardened Images). DHI exists for
   clickhouse-server and vector but is subscription-gated and served from a
   private org namespace not reachable via the anonymous artifactapi dockerhub
   proxy; its shell-less images would also break the bash bootstrap Jobs and the
   shell-based vector-test CI step. Use vector's distroless-libc for runtime
   pods (near-hardened) and the debian variant only for CI.

3. Make the transform tier a stateless Deployment (was a StatefulSet): no PVC,
   no disk buffer — JetStream is the sole durability layer. The ClickHouse sink
   uses an in-memory block buffer so a ClickHouse outage back-pressures the
   JetStream pull source (unpulled messages are retained/redelivered). Add a CPU
   HPA (2-8) — safe because JetStream pull consumers distribute work across N
   replicas on the one durable consumer. Caveat documented: vector's NATS source
   has no end-to-end acks (acks on receipt), so a pod killed mid-outage can lose
   its in-memory buffer window; accepted trade for a stateless autoscaling tier.
