Add LDAP-over-HTTPS API, agent secrets/IAM engines, and join key management

See CHANGELOG.md for the full breakdown. Summary:

- POST /api/v1/ldap/{bind,search}: LDAP-over-HTTPS so a client stops
  speaking raw LDAP and instead calls the SSO, which binds/searches its
  own OpenLDAP on the caller's behalf (DESIGN.md §3).
- LDAP byte-pump relay (utils/ldap_tunnel.js): forwards raw LDAP bytes
  from an agent's local socket into OpenLDAP over the existing agent WSS
  channel; the SSO never parses LDAP (DESIGN.md §4).
- POST /api/v1/agent/secrets: node-scoped OpenBao secret fetch for
  agents, enforced to each agent's own secret/data/nodes/<id>/* prefix
  (DESIGN.md §5).
- iam_apply signed command: push node-scoped IAM config (sudo rules, SSH
  keys, access control, revocation) to an agent (DESIGN.md §6).
- Agent capability badges on the Directory Metrics tab, sourced from the
  agent's own discovery frame.
- Join key management: GET /api/agent/join-keys/:id/agents (which hosts
  enrolled through a key) plus a Manage join keys table in the Install
  Agent modal with Revoke/Delete actions, confirmed inline per-row rather
  than a blocking native confirm() or the shared app.messages.confirm()
  banner (which desyncs across concurrent rows -- see CHANGELOG).
- docs/agents.md: capability matrix updated for the three new
  capabilities, a full secrets-engine walkthrough with screenshots
  (bash + Node consuming a rendered secret, plus the direct-API
  alternative), and the join-key reuse/UI/audit questions answered.

// are accepted, reusing existing credentials:
// - an agent token (the same one the agent presents on its WSS channel) — the
// caller is a node acting for SSSD;
// - a self-service API token (PAT, `sso_...`) — the caller is a user/app.
// The API authorizes the *caller*; OpenLDAP enforces the actual directory ACLs.
//
// Security note on /search: it runs under the directory admin bind (withClient),
// so it can read the whole tree. It is therefore restricted to agent callers
// (the SSSD user/group-resolution use case) and must eventually move to a
