tpm-enrol: move NV cert index off OEM-occupied 0x01800001 → 0x01800100
The Dell 820 kept "finding a cert" and bypassing enrolment despite repeated BIOS TPM clears. tpm2_nvreadpublic revealed 0x01800001 on that hardware is a FIRMWARE platform index (platformcreate|policydelete|writelocked, 70 bytes — not our cert; siblings at 0x01800003/4 + 0x01810000). platformcreate survives TPM2_Clear and policydelete needs the platform's secret policy, so it's permanent and unusable by us — the blind check false-positived on it, and enrolment could never write there anyway. Same class of bug as the EK-handle collision. Move the NV cert index default 0x01800001 -> 0x01800100 (free on the 820, owner range, overridable via rd.dot1x.nvindex): cmdline (extract-artifacts.sh), fleet-enrol -nvindex, the dracut hooks, bench scripts, CLAUDE.md invariant #1, and design/SSP docs. The signing-key handle (0x81000100) is unchanged. Harden WriteNVCert: refuse a platformcreate index with a clear "pick a free owner index via rd.dot1x.nvindex" error instead of a confusing undefine failure. Regression simtest/TestWriteNVCertRefusesPlatformIndex; NV roundtrip + ReadNVCert tests moved to 0x01800100. All go tests + packer validate pass.

network authentication using a **private key held in the TPM** (persistent
