ddns: take the public IP from Njal.la only and give it to LiveKit

The Hub no longer asks a STUN server, a public DNS resolver or a "what
is my IP" service for the home IP address. The DDNS update asks Njal.la
to use the address the request comes from ("&auto"), reads back the
address Njal.la says it recorded and saves it to
/var/lib/secrets/external-ip. Njal.la is the only third party that
learns the address; it has to, to publish it.

- Add app/sovran_systemsos_web/ddns_update.py, installed as
  /etc/sovran/ddns-update.py and run by sovran-ddns-update.service. It
  runs curl --ipv4 without redirects, accepts only a public IPv4
  address, and rewrites the file atomically and only when the address
  changes. Stored "&a=${IP}" URLs are converted when they are used and
  "&quiet" is dropped.
- Rewrite modules/core/njalla.nix around that runner and delete
  modules/core/public-ip.nix. Setting a sovran_systemsOS.publicIP.*
  option now fails with a message that says where the address comes
  from. Activation removes the old scripts in /var/lib/sovran. The
  existing external-ip file keeps working.
- server.py reads the saved address and starts
  sovran-ddns-update.service after a domain is saved, instead of looking
  the address up itself.
- Element calling uses sovran_systemsOS.elementCalling.externalIP if
  set, otherwise the saved address, and fails with a clear message when
  neither exists or the address is not public. It no longer falls back
  to STUN. livekit-external-ip.path re-runs livekit-turn-setup and
  starts LiveKit when the address changes.
- Add tests/test_ddns_update.py.

Optional pin: force LiveKit to advertise this public IPv4 in its
host/TURN ICE candidates. Not required in normal operation — the
module auto-detects the public IP at runtime (HTTPS egress
detection, falling back to STUN). Set it only to override a
mis-detected address (e.g. multi-WAN/VPN setups).
address is the one Njal.la reports for the DDNS update (set up in
the Hub's Domains page), and nothing on this system looks it up
anywhere else. Set it for a fixed public address with no Njal.la
DDNS entry, or to override the reported one (e.g. multi-WAN/VPN
setups).
