ec40892560 refactor(ssh): flatten the module to a single file
Every module folder here carries companion files alongside its .nix. This
one has none, so the folder added a level for nothing.

a6ada9dac3 chore(neogaia): comment the host public keys as the machine, not root
The trailing field is free text stamped in by ssh-keygen from the account
that ran it. Naming the machine says what the key identifies.

42ff195556 refactor(ssh): extract the host key wiring into a module
The sops secret declarations, the empty `hostKeys`, and the `HostKey`
lines were boilerplate sitting in the host, and every future host
restoring its identity would have repeated them.

`modules.ssh` takes the encrypted file and the key types, deriving the
secret names and the `HostKey` lines from one list, so the daemon and the
secrets cannot disagree about where a key lives. The resulting system
derivation is unchanged.

Also record two gotchas: reading PR review comments needs the Gitea API
rather than tea, and host keys are not user authentication keys.

61ce9cc1be feat(neogaia): restore the SSH host keys from sops (task 0011)
The host's SSH identity was generated by the daemon, so reimaging the
laptop would invalidate it and break `known_hosts` for every client that
had ever connected.

Add `secrets/neogaia.yaml`, the first per-host secrets file, encrypted to
the admin identity and `neogaia` alone so a compromised machine cannot
decrypt another's material. It holds both host private keys; the public
halves are committed in plaintext.

Clear `services.openssh.hostKeys` to stop generation and point `HostKey`
at the decrypted paths. These are ordinary secrets rather than the
pre-user ones the password uses, exercising the second decryption path.
