Grant vault deployer access to import + manage the rancher engine (#91)
## 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.)

terraform-vault

A repository to manage the configuration of Vault secret engines, authentication modes and policies.

Usage

  1. Initialize Terraform

Once you have your backend block configured, you need to initialize your Terraform working directory to configure the backend:

terraform init

This command initializes the backend and checks the connection to Consul. If everything is set up correctly, Terraform will start using Consul as its backend for storing the state.

  1. Common terraform init Errors

If you encounter errors while running terraform init, check the following:

Consul server is reachable: Make sure that the address is correct and that you can connect to the Consul server.
Consul token (if using ACLs): Verify that the token has the correct permissions to write to the specified path in the Consul KV store.
  1. Example Consul KV Structure

In Consul, the state file will be stored in the KV store under the specified path:

terraform/state

You can check the Consul KV store by accessing the Consul UI or using the consul kv command to see the stored Terraform state:

consul kv get terraform/state
