feat(services): opt-in Tailscale + Syncthing (nomarchy.services.*)

Start the opt-in services surface: nomarchy.services.{tailscale,syncthing},
off by default, in modules/nixos/services.nix. Tailscale ships the daemon
(authenticate with `sudo tailscale up`); Syncthing runs as the login user
with its GUI on 127.0.0.1:8384 (overrideDevices/Folders off so GUI-managed
folders survive rebuilds). username is read lazily, only when Syncthing is
on. Commented examples in the downstream system.nix template per the opt-in
convention.
