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.

# k8s/bootstrap/ingress/riotpiao-com-cert.yaml
# Public wildcard cert for *.riotpiao.com, signed by Let's Encrypt (DNS-01 via
# Cloudflare, see ../cert-manager/letsencrypt-issuer.yaml). Distinct from
# homelab-tls (self-signed homelab-ca, internal *.riotpiao.com) —
# reference riotpiao-com-tls explicitly on ingresses that expose riotpiao.com
# hosts to the internet; it is not nginx's default-ssl-certificate.
# Cloudflare, see ../cert-manager/letsencrypt-issuer.yaml).
#
# issuerRef starts on letsencrypt-staging. Switch to letsencrypt-prod once the
# staging cert issues cleanly, then delete this Certificate's Secret to force
# a re-issue against prod (staging certs aren't browser-trusted).
# nginx serves this secret as its default-ssl-certificate
# (../ingress/nginx-values.yaml), so every Ingress that omits a tls: block uses
# it. Do not add per-host tls: blocks for *.riotpiao.com hosts: they create a
# second, single-host certificate and split the wildcard coverage.
#
# Renewal is automatic and does not drop traffic:
# - cert-manager starts a new order 30 days before expiry (renewBefore).
# - cert-manager writes the renewed pair into the same secret.
# - ingress-nginx watches the secret and hot-reloads. No pod restart.
# - The old pair stays valid until the new one is written, so no gap exists.
#
# The DNS-01 self-check must reach the public resolvers directly. Without the
# --dns01-recursive-nameservers flags in ../../cert-manager/cert-manager-values.yaml
# the self-check never sees the TXT record and renewal stalls until expiry.
