Erich Blume 2bea048dbf Externalize Tailscale operator to forge mirror (#295)
## Summary
- Mirrors `tailscale/tailscale` on forge (`mirrors/tailscale`)
- Replaces vendored `operator.yaml` (495 KB / 5,386 lines) with ArgoCD apps sourcing the upstream static manifest, pinned via `targetRevision: v1.94.2`
- Adds `tailscale-operator-base` app for indri and `tailscale-operator-base-ringtail` for ringtail
- Local kustomization retains only ProxyClass and DNSConfig custom resources
- Updates `[[tailscale-operator]]` doc to reflect new sourcing

## Deployment and Testing
- [ ] Register `mirrors/tailscale` repo in ArgoCD (it needs to know about the new repo)
- [ ] Sync `apps` app to pick up the new `tailscale-operator-base` app definitions
- [ ] Sync `tailscale-operator-base` — verify CRDs, RBAC, operator Deployment come up
- [ ] Sync `tailscale-operator` — verify ProxyClass, DNSConfig still apply cleanly
- [ ] Verify existing Tailscale Ingresses still work (ProxyGroup pods healthy)
- [ ] Repeat for ringtail cluster
- [ ] After merge: apps already point at tags, no revision reset needed
