Serve preview URLs over Traefik+TLS, stabilize them, and speed up builds.

Ingress / preview URLs:
- Default the app Ingress class and ACME HTTP-01 solver to Traefik
  (k3s default) via a new INGRESS_CLASS env, instead of hardcoding nginx —
  fixes 404s on clusters without ingress-nginx.
- Only put public, real-TLD hosts (custom domain + preview) in the TLS
  block; the internal *.apps.cloudhost.local host no longer poisons the
  Let's Encrypt order, so certs actually issue.
- Make the per-app preview number stable across redeploys so URLs stop
  breaking, and let PREVIEW_BASE_DOMAIN configure the base domain.

Registry pulls:
- Point the k3s registries.yaml mirror endpoint at the registry NodePort on
  loopback so node containerd never depends on cluster DNS (image pulls
  survive node restarts).

Builds:
- Pin the Kaniko image, use IfNotPresent pull policy, drop the dead build
  queue/processor, and retry transient Kubernetes API errors while polling
  build jobs.

Logs & apps list:
- fluent-bit reads log files from head so startup output reaches
  Elasticsearch.
- Order joined deployments newest-first so the apps list shows the latest
  deployment status.

Allocation:
- Reserve in-flight (pending/building) capacity and stop globally degrading
  the cluster on a single allocation failure, so concurrent deploys don't
  starve or wrongly report "no healthy cluster".
