fix(cert-manager): restore wildcard renewal and drop per-host TLS

The ACME DNS-01 self-check resolved through CoreDNS and never saw the TXT
record. The wildcard renewal stalled on 2026-09-23 and riotpiao-com-tls
expired on 2026-10-23. Every Cloudflare Tunnel origin then failed with
"x509: certificate has expired or is not yet valid".

Changes:

- cert-manager: pin the self-check to the public resolvers with
  --dns01-recursive-nameservers and --dns01-recursive-nameservers-only.
  Verified against Let's Encrypt staging: the challenge went valid and the
  certificate issued.
- comfyui and forgejo: drop the per-host tls blocks and the
  cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer annotations. The wildcard covers both
  hosts, and the per-host certificates (comfyui-tls, forgejo-tls) expired
  with the wildcard.
- riotpiao-com-cert: document the wildcard as nginx's default certificate
  and the zero-downtime renewal path.

Renewal now runs 30 days before expiry, writes the same secret, and nginx
hot-reloads without a pod restart.

# Without these flags cert-manager resolves through the pod resolver
# (CoreDNS at 10.96.0.10). The self-check then never saw the TXT record and
# reported "Waiting for DNS-01 challenge propagation" forever. The wildcard
# certificate renewal stalled on 2026-09-23 and the cert expired on
