Trust internal unkin.net CA for ArgoCD OIDC egress (#303)

## Why

ArgoCD SSO fails with `failed to query provider "https://identity.unkin.net/application/o/argocd/": tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority`. argocd-server does OIDC discovery to identity.unkin.net over TLS served by the internal `unkin.net` CA. Unlike argocd-repo-server (which mounts `vault-ca-cert`), argocd-server has no internal CA in its trust store and no `rootCA` in `oidc.config`, so it never trusted the issuer.

## Change

- argocd-cm `oidc.config`: add `rootCA` (inline PEM) = the internal `unkin.net` root CA. argocd-server hot-reloads argocd-cm, so no rollout restart is required.

## Why the root, not the cluster vault-ca-cert bundle

The `unkin.net Intermediate Authority` was recently **re-keyed** (same serial, new key: bundle SHA1 `C4:48:78…` vs served `F1:DD:34…`). The cluster `vault-ca-cert` bundle still carries the **stale** intermediate and fails `openssl verify` against the currently-served identity cert. identity.unkin.net presents its current intermediate in the handshake, so anchoring on the long-lived, stable `unkin.net` root (valid to 2034, matches the host trust anchor) is both correct and rotation-proof. Verified: `openssl verify -CAfile <root> -untrusted <served-intermediate> <served-leaf>` = OK; the embedded PEM round-trips through the YAML patch and validates the served leaf.

## Verify after merge

argocd-server picks up argocd-cm live; retest SSO login. (Separately, the cluster `vault-ca-cert` reflected secret carries a stale intermediate and should be refreshed, but that is out of scope here.)

# argocd-server does OIDC discovery/egress to identity.unkin.net over TLS,
# which is served by the internal `unkin.net` CA (not a public root), so the
# stock image trust store rejects it (x509: certificate signed by unknown
# authority). Anchor on the stable `unkin.net` root; identity presents its
# intermediate in the handshake, and the intermediate is periodically
# re-keyed, so pinning the root (not the intermediate) is rotation-proof.
