docs(k8s): add Talos architecture, distro decision, and bootstrap plan

Author the docs/k8s/ directory capturing the pfv-k8s control-plane design:

- README.md: TL;DR of all decisions (distro, runtime, cnode count, admin
  access, identity, tenancy, registry, storage)
- DISTRO-DECISION.md: Talos vs k3s analysis. Recommend Talos because the
  ITAR/classified requirement makes its immutable, API-only, measured-boot
  posture structurally easier to certify than SCAP-hardened Debian. k3s was
  only ever a plan (no cluster deployed), so cutover cost is ~zero.
- ARCHITECTURE.md: target arch with mermaid diagrams covering control
  plane, LAN-only network with Tailscale subnet-router admin, Cilium CNI,
  OIDC to Keycloak, per-tenant vcluster isolation (incl. ITAR tenant),
  Harbor pull-through cache on D3 SSD, bootstrap sequence, and DR.

Gardening: register docs/k8s/ in docmap.md, update STATUS.md with the new
k8s section and the three pending user decisions (cnode count, host spread,
Tailscale pattern).

### Kubernetes Architecture (docs authored, pending implementation)
- [x] `docs/k8s/` created: README, DISTRO-DECISION, ARCHITECTURE
- [x] Distro decision: **Talos Linux** (over k3s), driven by ITAR/classified
requirement. Immutable + API-only + measured-boot = structurally stronger
compliance posture than SCAP-hardened Debian.
- [x] Target arch documented: 3 cnodes (local-lvm boot), Cilium CNI, vcluster
per tenant, Harbor pull-through cache on D3 SSD, OIDC→Keycloak (Cloudron),
Tailscale subnet-router for admin (cluster nodes LAN-only, zero egress).
- [ ] 3 decisions pending user confirm (see Pending below)
### Repo Merge
- [x] KNELServerBuild merged into PFVCluster (history preserved)
- [x] Directory structure reorganized (provisioning/, tests/, perf/, docs/)

## Pending (next session priorities)
1. Provisioning: add `tailscale up --accept-dns=false` after resolv.conf deploy
2. DNS: verify Pi-hole forwards knel.net to local Technitium on both nodes
3. Perf: complete tsys4/5 tuning after hardware install (Friday)
4. tsys2: rebuild from Win10 to Proxmox (k8s-dedicated host)
1. **k8s: confirm 3 decisions** before bootstrap:
- Cnode count: 3 (recommended) vs 5
- Cnode host spread: tsys9 + tsys1 + tsys3 (recommended, 3-host, local-lvm)
- Tailscale pattern: subnet router on `tailscale-router` (recommended)
