Add NetBox secrets engine: mount, roles, policies
ci/woodpecker/pr/plan Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/pre-commit Pipeline was successful

Why:
- terraform-infra and the puppet netbox fact use static NetBox API tokens; the
  released vault-plugin-secrets-netbox mints per-consumer ephemeral tokens with
  lease-bound revocation, removing the long-lived secrets.

How:
- Register the vault-plugin-secrets-netbox v0.1.0 plugin in the catalog
  (config/plugins), pinning the released binary sha256.
- Add netbox_secret_backend + netbox_secret_backend_role modules and their
  config/terragrunt wiring, mirroring the gitea engine.
- Mount the engine at netbox with its admin token seeded from KV and rotated in
  place (lifecycle ignore_changes on the seed).
- Add roles: puppet-facts (read-only, 24h/72h) and terraform-infra
  (write, 1h/4h), each mapped to its NetBox service user.
- Add the netbox admin policy for the deployer and a netbox/creds/terraform-infra
  read policy bound to the terraform-infra AppRole + k8s auth role.
