Harden Tailscale ACL policy with least-privilege grants (#23)

## Summary
- Replace permissive wildcard ACL (`*` -> `*`) with specific service grants
- Admin: full access to all services including NAS
- Member: user-facing services only (no Grafana/Loki/NAS)
- Add device tagging for gilbert (workstation) and sifaka (NAS) via Pulumi
- SSH hardening: remove root access, use "check" action with MFA
- Add ACL tests to validate policy behavior

## Deployment and Testing
- [x] Pulumi preview passes
- [x] HuJSON syntax validated
- [x] ACL tests defined and passing
- [ ] Deploy with `mise run tailnet-up`
- [ ] Verify SSH access from gilbert to indri
- [ ] Verify Allison cannot access Grafana/Loki/NAS

"""Pulumi program to manage tail8d86e.ts.net tailnet configuration.""" """Pulumi program to manage tail8d86e.ts.net tailnet configuration.
This program manages:
- ACL policy (grants, SSH rules, tag owners, tests)
- Device tags for infrastructure classification
Devices are tagged based on their role:
- tag:homelab - Server infrastructure (indri)
- tag:workstation - Development machines that can manage homelab (gilbert)
- tag:nas - Network-attached storage (sifaka)
- tag:blumeops - Resources managed by this IaC
- Service tags (grafana, forge, etc.) - Fine-grained service access control
