feat(opa): add conftest OPA policies and pre-commit hook

Adds three policy files under policy/ plus a pre-commit hook that
runs conftest against all staged YAML manifests (excluding chart
templates).

Policies:
  no_ingress.rego
    Deny Ingress resources — cluster uses Gateway API only.

  gateway_api.rego
    HTTPRoute/TLSRoute: require explicit group/kind on parentRefs and
    group/kind/weight on backendRefs (PR #162, #165).
    Gateway: require explicit group on certificateRefs (PR #153).
    All fields are defaulted by the controller; omitting them causes
    permanent ArgoCD OutOfSync.

  resource_normalization.rego
    CPU integer: deny unquoted integer cpu values (PR #163).
    CPU milliCPU: deny values like 1000m/2000m that normalise to "1"/"2" (PR #164).
    Memory Mi→Gi: deny 1024Mi/2048Mi etc. that normalise to 1Gi/2Gi (PR #163).
    clusterIP null: deny Service with explicit null clusterIP (PR #166).

Also fixes all existing violations found by the new policies across
puppet deployments and reposync cronjobs (resource normalization).
kanidm/tlsroute.yaml and puppet/service_puppetdb.yaml are excluded
from this commit as they are addressed in PRs #165 and #166.

-# kanidm
-
-Three-replica kanidm identity server with Vault-managed replication certificates.
-
-## Architecture
-
-- Per-pod `server-N.toml` in `resources/` — each has its own replication origin hardcoded
-- `config-init` busybox init container copies the right config and injects peer certs from the
-  vault-synced `kanidm-repl-certs` Secret at pod startup
-- `reloader.stakater.com/auto: "true"` triggers a rolling restart when the ConfigMap or Secret changes
-- Vault path: `kv/kubernetes/namespace/kanidm/default/repl-certs`
-  - Keys: `kanidm-0`, `kanidm-1`, `kanidm-2` — each holds that pod's replication certificate
-
-## Initial setup
-
-After the first pod starts, generate the admin credentials:
-
-```bash
-kubectl exec -n kanidm kanidm-0 -- /sbin/kanidmd recover-account -c /config/server.toml admin
-kubectl exec -n kanidm kanidm-0 -- /sbin/kanidmd recover-account -c /config/server.toml idm_admin
-```
-
-## Replication certificate rotation
-
-When certs need to be renewed, update vault and reloader will roll the StatefulSet:
-
-```bash
-# Get new cert from a pod
-kubectl exec -it -n kanidm kanidm-N -- /sbin/kanidmd renew-replication-certificate -c /config/server.toml
-
-# Write updated cert to vault (reloader triggers restart automatically)
-vault kv patch kv/kubernetes/namespace/kanidm/default/repl-certs "kanidm-N=<cert>"
-```
-
-## Resolving domain UUID mismatch
-
-If pods initialized independently (each with a different domain UUID), replication will fail with
-`Consumer Domain UUID does not match`. Fix by resetting kanidm-1 and kanidm-2 to sync from
-kanidm-0 (the authoritative node):
-
-```bash
-# Scale down to avoid split-brain during reset
-kubectl scale statefulset -n kanidm kanidm --replicas=1
-
-# Delete the stale PVCs for the replica pods
-kubectl delete pvc -n kanidm data-kanidm-1 data-kanidm-2
-
-# Scale back up — replicas start with empty DBs and automatic_refresh=true
-# will trigger a full sync from kanidm-0 once TLS peer certs are verified
-kubectl scale statefulset -n kanidm kanidm --replicas=3
-```
