nix: export the CI server as nixosModules.cc-ci-server

The whole server (every service module, the harness tooling, sops wiring,
acme-dns) becomes one reusable module, nix/modules/default.nix, so another
flake can run cc-ci on a host it defines. First consumer: the
cc-ci-orchestrator repo's `#cc-ci` host, which runs the CI server and the
orchestrator together on one Hetzner machine.

Two things the modules hard-coded become options (nix/modules/options.nix):
- cc-ci.publicIPv4 — acme-dns's listen address and ns-acme glue record.
- cc-ci.sopsFile — the secrets.yaml path; defaults to the secrets/ submodule,
  but a consumer that imports cc-ci as a plain input (no private submodule)
  points it at the deployed --recursive checkout and sops-nix reads it at
  activation (validateSopsFiles off for that case).

The standalone host (nix/hosts/cc-ci-hetzner) now only carries hardware,
networking and identity and imports the module via the flake. Verified: the
`#cc-ci` system derivation is byte-identical before and after
(/nix/store/ckp1244bz86fz3qbx81n5kx60c1lak3m-…531670d.drv on both).
