Defer configuration by default and manage vpn-router.conf with ucf

Add platform = none as the shipped default so installing the package
changes nothing on the machine until a platform is chosen. Add a mode
setting (manual/interfaces/auto) controlling how much of the network
configuration is supplied versus detected from the system. Manage
/etc/vpn-router/vpn-router.conf with ucf instead of writing it once,
so dpkg-reconfigure can safely reapply debconf answers without
clobbering local edits. Extend NAT/forward rules to all local subnets,
not just the first.

Nothing in the package is specific to a cloud provider. It is built on two inputs, the
name of the external NIC and the name of the internal one; the addresses on them are read
from the system rather than configured again. Nothing is auto-detected, because a router
that guesses which interface to NAT out of is a router that can guess wrong silently.
Nothing in the package is specific to a cloud provider. It is built on the external and
internal NIC names, and a `mode` setting says how much of the rest you are supplying and
how much is read from the system. Detection happens only in the mode that asks for it, so
a router never quietly guesses which interface to NAT out of unless you told it to.
Platform-specific additions live in separate modules and are selected explicitly.
Installing the package configures nothing by default. The shipped platform is `none`,
which means the files are laid down and the machine is left alone until you say
otherwise.

Accepting every default at install time is safe. Installing the package enables IP
forwarding and relaxes `rp_filter` through its own drop-in in `/etc/sysctl.d/`, which a
router needs, but it configures no tunnels, adds no firewall rules and does not enable the
firewall. Fill the file in when you are ready.

Every feature is independent. Leaving a group empty simply means that feature is not
configured, and its generated files are removed.
The two interface names are the base the rest is built on. The addresses strongSwan binds
on come from the external NIC, and the address used for `local_id_mode = internal_ip`
comes from the internal one, so neither is configured twice and neither can drift out of
step with the host. If a named interface does not exist the service stops and says so.
### What `mode` decides
`mode` states how much of the network configuration you are supplying, and therefore how
much the package reads from the system:
| `mode` | You provide | The package works out |
|---|---|---|
| `manual` | both interface names, `int_addr`, `int_gateway_ip` | nothing |
| `interfaces` | both interface names | `int_addr` and `int_gateway_ip`, from those interfaces |
| `auto` | nothing | the interface names too, from the routing table |
`manual` is the only mode in which no detection code runs at all. `auto` is the
convenient one and can pick the wrong interface, which is a trade you make deliberately
by choosing it rather than something the package does behind your back.
The addresses strongSwan binds on always come from the external NIC, in every mode, so
they are never configured twice and cannot drift out of step with the host. If a named
interface does not exist the service stops and says so. In `interfaces` and `auto` mode
the internal gateway is taken from the routing table, falling back to the first host
address of the connected subnet with a warning when the routing table has nothing to say.

The service also runs at boot. With `platform = none` it does nothing and says so.
Otherwise it regenerates the configuration files, resolves the interfaces and their
addresses as `mode` directs, applies routes, generates WireGuard keys and injects
firewall rules. It then starts `strongswan` and `wg-quick@wg0` if the corresponding
feature is configured, reloading or restarting them only when their inputs changed, and
restarts `systemd-resolved` only when the road-warrior DNS drop-in changed. Turning a
