alexion 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.
