alexion 13e5a9bb56 docs: describe the current secrets design in the install procedure
The closing section still described key derivation from each machine's SSH
host key, a mechanism that was superseded because it forces new host keys
on every reimage and makes storing those keys as secrets circular.

Record the two-tier identity model that replaced it, and warn that the
hand-set bootstrap password stops working once the password becomes a
secret: hashedPasswordFile outranks every other password option, so a
machine installed after that must have its identity provisioned before
first boot rather than a password set afterwards.
