Johnathan Corgan ed312ac6f2 Fix DNS resolution on Ubuntu 22 with systemd-resolved (#77)
On Ubuntu 22 (systemd 249), systemd-resolved applies interface-scoped
routing to per-link DNS servers. Configuring `resolvectl dns fips0
127.0.0.1:5354` caused resolved to attempt reaching 127.0.0.1 through
fips0 (a TUN with only fd00::/8 routes), silently failing. The DNS
responder never received queries. Newer systemd versions (250+) have
explicit handling for loopback servers on non-loopback interfaces.

Changes:

- DNS responder default bind_addr changed from "127.0.0.1" to "::"
  so it listens on all interfaces, including fips0. Bind logic in
  lifecycle.rs now parses bind_addr as IpAddr and constructs a
  SocketAddr, handling IPv6 literal formatting. Factored into
  Node::bind_dns_socket with explicit IPV6_V6ONLY=0 via socket2, so
  IPv4 clients on 127.0.0.1:5354 still reach the responder
  regardless of the kernel's net.ipv6.bindv6only sysctl.

- fips-dns-setup resolvectl backend now waits for fips0 to have a
  global IPv6 address, then configures resolved with
  [<fips0-addr>]:5354. That address is locally delivered by the
  kernel regardless of which interface resolved tries to route
  through. The dnsmasq and NetworkManager backends still use
  127.0.0.1 (they don't have the interface-scoping issue).

- Dropped hardcoded `bind_addr: "127.0.0.1"` from the packaged
  fips.yaml (Debian + OpenWrt). The shipped config was overriding
  the new default.

- DNS queries are only accepted from the localhost.

Verified end-to-end in a privileged Ubuntu 22.04 systemd container:
dig @127.0.0.53 AAAA <npub>.fips resolves cleanly through
systemd-resolved.

The dns-delegate backend (systemd 258+) still uses 127.0.0.1; it
has not been verified whether that backend has the same routing
issue.
