fix(longhorn): retire the failed 2TB PERC disk on talos-cp-2

The disk behind /var/lib/longhorn-disk4 (sde1, 2TB PERC H710P virtual disk)
failed: 54 million SCSI I/O errors and climbing at ~7,000/minute, against 3 on
every other device on the node. Its XFS filesystem hung, so five Longhorn
replica processes and the longhorn-manager blocked in uninterruptible D state
in openat and unlinkat. D-state processes cannot be killed, so they held the
node's three replica rebuild slots permanently: no new replica could start on
talos-cp-2 and every new volume there failed to attach with DeadlineExceeded.
That is what stopped the azhi database from coming up.

Removed from all three declarations so it cannot come back:
- terraform.tfvars.local.bak, longhorn_disks for talos-cp-2
- the Longhorn add-disks Job, which would otherwise re-register it
- the Job's disk-count guard, 5 -> 4, or it would fire on every run once the
  disk is gone

The running cluster already has the disk fenced
(allowScheduling=false, evictionRequested=true); the replicas are evicted and
the device retired at the controller after that.

+# The live data was tiny: 15,943 keys, 69 MB after compaction. The rest was
+# dead pages. Recovery was `compact <current-revision>` then `defrag` per
+# member then `alarm disarm`. Compaction had also stalled while the alarm was
+# up, so `dbSizeInUse` read 100% of the file - defrag alone would NOT have
+# worked. Order matters: compact first, then defrag.
+#
+# The earlier revision of this file never ran, for two independent reasons:
+#   1. it existed only on branch fix/etcd-defrag-cron; the ArgoCD application
+#      `cluster-maintenance` tracks `main` (targetRevision: main), so the
+#      cluster never had the CronJob or the Secret.
+#   2. the image was quay.io/coreos/etcd, which has NO /bin/sh (verified:
+#      `exec: "/bin/sh": no such file or directory`). Any container that runs
+#      a shell script needs an image that ships one.
+# This revision fixes both: image bitnamilegacy/etcd (ships bash + etcdctl
+# 3.6.4, matching the 3.6.11 servers) pinned by digest.
+#
+# Cadence: every 15 days. Measured growth is ~29 MB/day, so a 15-day cycle
+# peaks near 500 MB - comfortably under the 2 GiB quota. The schedule is daily
+# and the script exits unless the UTC epoch day is a multiple of 15. That gives
+# an exact 15-day interval; `*/15` in the day-of-month field does not (it fires
+# on the 1st, 16th and 31st, which puts two runs one day apart).
+#
+# Safety
+# ------
+# 1. Compaction uses the MINIMUM revision across members. Compacting to a
+#    revision a member has not reached wedges that member - measured on
+#    2026-10-07, when talos-cp-2 froze ~1.2M entries behind the leader and
+#    needed a reboot to rejoin.
+# 2. A member whose raft applied index lags the leader by more than 100000 is
+#    skipped and reported. Defragging a frozen member reclaims nothing.
+# 3. Members are defragged one at a time. A defrag pauses the member's apply
+#    loop for the duration of the file copy.
+#
+# Credentials: Secret etcd-defrag-creds in kube-system, SOPS-managed in
+# k8s/argocd/secrets/etcd-defrag-creds.enc.yaml (ksops generator 00-secrets).
+# Its client certificate is signed by the cluster's etcd CA and expires
+# 2036-10; rotate it before then by re-running the mint and re-encrypting.
+#
+# Companion alerts (monitoring): etcd_mvcc_db_total_size_in_bytes /
+# etcd_server_quota_backend_bytes > 0.8, and an etcd NOSPACE alarm alert.
