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.

# --- 6. connect the NVMe/TCP root over macsec0 (TARGETED to this version) ----
# Explicit targeted connect. This hook used to only set /etc/nvme/hostnqn and
# leave the connect to the dracut nvmf module's discovery mechanism — a
# `connect-all` that attaches EVERY served version's subsystem to this host,
# inflating target controllers to O(hosts x versions) and keeping old versions
# pinned above zero connections so the per-version drain/reap gate never fires
# (see TODO #6). rd.nvmf.nqn pins THIS build's subsystem (baked per-version into
# the signed cmdline by extract-artifacts.sh, matching verity.json .subnqn on the
# target); nvme uses the hostnqn/hostid written in step 5. Load-bearing order
# (invariant #2): this runs AFTER macsec0 is addressed — never connect NVMe
# before macsec0 has an IP. Keep-alive tuning matches the test path (-k 30 long
# KATO, -l -1 retry forever, -c 10) so the root link survives kiosk CPU pressure
# and blips. BENCH-VERIFY: the secure path is not yet confirmed end-to-end.
