Aleksei Sviridkin 51c5273d0b feat(platform): ACME wildcard certificate on the default ingress-nginx path (#2988)
## What this PR does

On the default ingress-nginx path (`gateway.enabled=false`) every
published hostname still minted its own per-host ACME certificate via
ingress-shim, even with a DNS-01 solver configured. That hits the Let's
Encrypt rate limit (50 certs per registered domain per week) once a
deployment exceeds ~50 endpoints. The Gateway API path already issues a
single per-apex wildcard in DNS-01 mode; this brings the ingress-nginx
path to parity. It implements the remaining ingress-nginx gap that #2400
was narrowed to in its triage comment (DNS-01 is already multi-provider,
and the Gateway path already issues wildcards).

The new `publishing.certificates.wildcard` toggle is opt-in and OFF by
default. When set to `true` with `solver=dns01` and no operator-provided
wildcard Secret, the platform issues one shared wildcard `Certificate`
for `<root-host>` + `*.<root-host>` and serves the resulting Secret as
the publishing controller's `--default-ssl-certificate`. The system
service Ingresses (dashboard, grafana, keycloak, harbor, …) then stop
requesting a per-host cert.

How it works:

- `core/platform` `apps.yaml` computes the effective wildcard Secret
name and a new `_cluster.wildcard-issue` signal. An operator-provided
`wildcardSecretName` (the BYO path) always wins and never triggers
issuance; HTTP-01 cannot issue wildcards; and when Gateway API is
enabled the TenantGateway controller issues the wildcard instead — so
all three are excluded from auto-issuance.
- `extra/ingress` renders the wildcard `Certificate` only on the
publishing controller (`Release.Namespace == expose-ingress`), because
the Secret must be same-namespace for ingress-nginx to read it. The
Certificate references the DNS-01 `ClusterIssuer` that
`cert-manager-issuers` already renders in `dns01` mode, so no per-tenant
Issuer is minted.

This reuses the existing wildcard-secret consumption path, so no
per-service Ingress template changes were needed — only the issuance
side is new.

Why opt-in (default off): the chosen wildcard Secret name rides the
`_cluster` channel, which every child tenant inherits verbatim, so this
is not root-tenant scoped. A single-label wildcard `*.<root-host>`
covers `<service>.<root-host>` but not a custom service host outside it
(a keycloak `ingress.host`, harbor `host`, or grafana `host` pointed at
another domain) nor a child tenant's nested host
(`<service>.<tenant>.<root-host>`). Enabling issuance makes every such
service drop its per-host ACME cert and fall back to the default
certificate, which does not cover it. Leaving it off by default means a
dns01 cluster is never silently switched on upgrade; an operator who
enables it accepts the same coverage responsibility as the
operator-provided wildcard path, which propagates identically. The
tradeoff is pinned by contract tests (keycloak custom host, bucket
nested child-tenant host). Per-tenant wildcards remain on the Gateway
path and are tracked separately.

Closes #2400. Part of #2811.

### Release note

```release-note
feat(platform): add opt-in shared wildcard certificate issuance on the default ingress-nginx path via publishing.certificates.wildcard (default false). When enabled with a DNS-01 solver, the platform issues one *.<root-host> wildcard for system services instead of a per-host ACME certificate, avoiding Let's Encrypt rate limits at scale.
```
