feat(runtime-exposure): least-privilege Tailscale HTTPS broker + shared contract (PAP-17051)

Foundation for opt-in `tailscale_https` exposure of managed branch runtimes,
implementing the PAP-17049 plan under the PAP-17050 threat-model verdict.

Broker (packages/tailscale-https-broker): root/dedicated-account host broker
exposing only idempotent list/expose/remove over a Unix socket. Implements the
six required verdict controls: SO_PEERCRED + UID/GID allowlist + unguessable
broker-issued lease handles (req #1); dedicated port allowlist + /proc listener
ownership/loopback proof before mutation (req #2); per-mutation transaction
(strict-parse serve JSON -> verify absence/exact-lease -> verify :443 -> one
fixed per-port op -> reread -> require only-intended-changed + :443 identical
-> atomic root-owned registry commit, quarantine-on-ambiguity) (req #3);
execve/shell=false argv built only from canonical integers + fixed tokens,
pinned CLI schema (req #4); versioned length-bounded strict-JSON protocol
(req #5); bounded append-only audit events (req #6). Deny-by-default for
Funnel/cert/Services/reset/set-config/path-handlers/:443/reserved ports.

Shared contract (packages/shared): single source of truth for exposure config,
lifecycle state (pending/ready/failed/cleanup_pending/removed), listener
ownership, and status, with strict zod validators and deterministic
app/HMR port-pair + URL derivation so DB/server/UI/runtime cannot drift.

Tests: broker 57/57, shared runtime-exposure 13/13, both typecheck clean.
Server/DB/UI lifecycle integration + docs land in follow-on commits.
