Aleksei Sviridkin 54159736bc feat(talos)!: bump Talos to v1.14.2 (#4598)
## What this PR does

Bumps the Talos image Cozystack builds from v1.13.6 to v1.14.2 to get a
newer DRBD. v1.13.6 ships DRBD 9.3.2, v1.13.7 and later and
v1.14.0/v1.14.1 ship 9.3.3, and v1.14.2 is the first release with 9.3.4.
ZFS moves from 2.4.3 to 2.4.4.

On 9.3.2 I've seen a peer reboot leave the DRBD sender thread spinning
on a failed send (EPIPE). What followed was RCU stalls, processes stuck
in D-state, a hanging `drbdsetup disconnect` and two-phase-commit
timeouts. The [9.3.4
ChangeLog](https://github.com/LINBIT/drbd/blob/drbd-9.3.4/ChangeLog) has
fixes for a sender thread pinning a CPU while its connection is down,
for two-phase-commit issues and a hanging `drbdadm disconnect`, and for
two nodes ending UpToDate with different data after a reconnect. None of
them are in 9.3.3. I matched the trace to those entries by their
descriptions only, not against the commits.

The base installer image had to change. Talos v1.14 no longer publishes
`ghcr.io/siderolabs/installer`, so `gen-profiles.sh` now uses
`ghcr.io/siderolabs/installer-base`, same as upstream's own v1.14 imager
profiles. I built the amd64 installer from the new profile with
`imager:v1.14.2` locally and it builds without errors.

PR CI will not boot the new image. It builds the installer and matchbox
images, but the e2e runs on the upstream `talos:v1.13.5` container from
`hack/e2e-compose.yaml`. The first run that boots the new kernel, DRBD
and ZFS is the nightly after merge, which builds the nocloud disk from
these profiles and runs it in QEMU.

On Talos v1.14.2 the `drbd_transport_tcp` module is no longer loaded on
demand. After upgrading a node from v1.13.6, `drbd` was loaded and the
transport module was not, `drbdsetup new-peer` failed with "Failed to
create transport (drbd_transport_xxx module missing?)", and every DRBD
resource on the node stayed in Connecting. Listing the module in
`machine.kernel.modules` fixed it without a reboot. The cause is
[siderolabs/pkgs#1565](https://github.com/siderolabs/pkgs/pull/1565), in
Talos since v1.14.0: the kernel is built with an empty modprobe path, so
it no longer loads modules on `request_module()`, which is how DRBD asks
for its transport. Any module that used to load that way now has to be
listed explicitly (reported upstream as siderolabs/talos#14501). Outside
DRBD this includes `dm-thin-pool` and `dm-multipath`, which the v1.14.2
kernel builds as modules, so LVM-thin or multipath users on Talos need
them listed too. The e2e node config now loads `drbd_transport_tcp`
explicitly, and the talm preset (cozystack/talm#252) and the install
docs (cozystack/website#720) get the same line. The module ships in the
drbd extension on v1.13 too, so the extra line is safe before the
upgrade.

The order matters for host nodes. Either update the cozystack preset in
the talm project to a version with cozystack/talm#252 and re-render and
apply the node config, or add `drbd_transport_tcp` to
`machine.kernel.modules` by hand. Only then upgrade the node to v1.14.2.
A node upgraded first loses DRBD replication until the module is added.

The host network policy now also denies port 2383 to `world`. Talos
v1.14 moved etcd's `/metrics`, `/health` and gRPC-gateway JSON API from
2379 to a separate listener on 2383, and the policy only blocked 2379
and 2380. Without this, the etcd JSON API on v1.14 control-plane nodes
would be reachable from outside, protected only by client mTLS.

Two smaller changes come with the bump. The multus
`talos-cni-plugins-checked-against` marker moves to v1.14.2, because the
pkgs release behind Talos v1.14.2 still pins CNI plugins v1.9.1, same as
multus. The system memory limits doc now describes the v1.14 OOM
trigger, since v1.14.0 dropped its global memory PSI clause
([siderolabs/talos#13895](https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/pull/13895)).

Before upgrading hosts, operators should know a few things from the
[v1.14.0 release
notes](https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/releases/tag/v1.14.0) and the
Talos compatibility code:

- Talos v1.14 accepts a host upgrade from v1.12.0 or later. It supports
Kubernetes 1.32 through 1.37, while v1.13 still accepted 1.31, so a
cluster on Kubernetes 1.31 has to upgrade Kubernetes first.
- etcd's HTTP endpoints (`/metrics`, `/health`) moved from port 2379 to
2383. The Cozystack etcd scrape proxy reads a separate metrics listener
on `127.0.0.1:2381`, which this change does not move. Anything else that
scraped or health-checked etcd on 2379 has to switch to 2383, and a
firewall outside the cluster that blocked 2379 should block 2383 too.
- etcd and kube-apiserver now require TLS 1.3, so a client that can only
speak TLS 1.2 stops connecting.
- Workload isolation (`SecurityProfileConfig`) stays off on upgraded
clusters, but `talosctl gen config` turns it on for new ones. I haven't
tested Cozystack with it enabled.
- `talosctl apply-config --mode=reboot` is gone.

### Release note

```release-note
feat(talos): Bump Talos to v1.14.2, which ships DRBD 9.3.4 and ZFS 2.4.4. DRBD 9.3.4 fixes a sender thread spinning on a dead connection, two-phase-commit hangs and a data divergence after a reconnect. Before upgrading a node, add `drbd_transport_tcp` to its Talos `machine.kernel.modules` next to `drbd`: Talos v1.14.2 no longer loads it on demand, and without it DRBD cannot connect to any peer. We recommend skipping the v1.13 line and upgrading nodes straight to v1.14.2. Talos accepts a direct upgrade from v1.12.0 or later. Talos v1.14 moves etcd's HTTP metrics and health endpoints from port 2379 to 2383, and the Cozystack host network policy now blocks 2383 from outside the cluster.
```
