Grant vault deployer access to import + manage the rancher engine (#91)
ci/woodpecker/push/apply Pipeline was successful

## Why

Wiring the new Rancher token secrets engine into Vault. The deployer registers the plugin (sudo-protected `sys/plugins/catalog`) and configures the engine via the ranchervaultsecret provider, so it needs catalog + engine-path access. Mirrors #88 (gpg).

## Changes

- Add `policies/rancher/admin.yaml` granting the `tf_vault` approle and `woodpecker_terraform_vault` k8s role: catalog sudo on `vault-plugin-secrets-rancher`, and manage on `rancher/{config,service-accounts,roles}`.

## Merge order

Part 1 of 4. Merge before the plugin-import and backend PRs so apply doesn't 403. (Puppet install + this policy first, then import, then backend.)
