nvmf: targeted per-version connect (rd.nvmf.nqn) instead of connect-all

Hosts connected with 'nvme connect-all', which attaches EVERY subsystem in the
discovery log. Each host then mounts only its own by-UUID verity namespaces but
leaves a live controller on every other served version's subsystem. Observed via
spdk-release list: more controllers than workstations, each box on every version
(1/3/3/1/3 across 5 versions for ~3 boxes). Beyond wasted connections
(O(hosts x versions)), it defeated the rolling-update drain/reap: no version ever
reached 0 connections while any host was up, so spdk-loader's auto-reap could
never fire and old versions accumulated without bound.

Fix — targeted connect to this build's subsystem only:
- extract-artifacts.sh bakes the per-version SUBNQN (already in verity.json
  .subnqn, matched by the serving side) into the signed UKI cmdline as
  rd.nvmf.nqn=. NQN is version identity, not per-host state, and the cmdline is
  already per-version + immutable-per-signed-UKI, so invariant #1 holds.
- nvmf-connect.sh (test path) uses 'nvme connect -n <nqn>'; legacy UKIs without
  rd.nvmf.nqn fall back to connect-all with a warning so they still boot.
- dot1x-macsec-up.sh (secure path) gains an explicit step-6 targeted connect over
  macsec0 (after it's addressed, per invariant #2), replacing the delegation to
  the dracut nvmf module's discovery connect-all.

Now each host = 1 controller on its own subsystem; versions drain to 0 when their
hosts migrate, so auto-reap works and connections scale O(hosts). Requires a
rebuild + re-sign (cmdline change, invariant #6). BENCH-VERIFY both paths;
confirm the dracut nvmf module isn't also connect-all-ing on the secure path.
CLAUDE.md invariant #2 + TODO #6 updated.

connect NVMe before macsec0 is addressed. The connect is **targeted to this
