New el9_8 nodes boot rke2 v1.33.11 (flannel v0.28.4 / calico v3.31.5) from
the rolling latest/1.33 repo, but the airgap preload pinned v1.33.4
(flannel v0.27.2 / calico v3.30.2), so canal's images were never on disk and
containerd fell back to the artifactapi mirror VIP, which is unreachable until
the flannel overlay it would provide is up. Classic bootstrap deadlock.
- bump pinned rke2_version 1.33.4 -> 1.33.11 so the versionlock, RPM and
preloaded bundle all match the canal image tags the running binary requests
(the default rke2-images bundle already contains the canal CNI images)
- wire the airgap archive source to the container_archive_source parameter
(previously declared but unused) and refresh its default to the artifactapi
github remote, so the pre-CNI-reachable source is hiera-overridable per node

## Summary
- Replace static `registries.yaml` with EPP template driven by `rke2::registries` hash
- Add `disable-default-registry-endpoint: true` to all mirrors — RKE2 will only use artifactapi and never fall back to upstream registries
- Registry configuration now fully managed via hiera data (`roles/infra/k8s.yaml`)

Add/Remove the registries.yaml file based on the manage_registries
boolean. We are leaving it on default=false now as the artifactapi
server was broken.

This change will install rancher, purelb and cert-manager, then
configure a dmz and common ip pool to be used by loadbalancers. The
nginx ingres controller is configured to use 198.18.200.0 (common) and
announce the ip from all nodes so that it becomes an anycast ip in ospf.

- add rancher ingress routes
- add nginx externalip/loadBalancer
