feat(scep): add RFC 8894 message-type constants + RA cert/key config

SCEP RFC 8894 + Intune master bundle — Phase 0 + Phase 1 of 14.

Phase 0 (recon, no code changes):
  Baseline tests green at HEAD 2519da8 (handler 79.0% / service 73.2% /
  pkcs7 100%). SCEPConfig actual line is 666, prompt cited 639 — used
  actual per the 'repo wins' operating rule.

Phase 1 (this commit):

internal/domain/scep.go
  * Added SCEPMessageTypeCertRep (3) — RFC 8894 §3.3.2 server response
    messageType. Clients pivot on this to extract a cert (Status=Success),
    surface a failInfo (Status=Failure), or poll (Status=Pending).
  * Added SCEPMessageTypeRenewalReq (17) — RFC 8894 §3.3.1.2
    re-enrollment with an existing valid cert; signerInfo signed by the
    existing cert (proving possession).
  * Added SCEPRequestEnvelope struct — parsed authenticated attributes
    from the inbound signerInfo (messageType / transactionID /
    senderNonce / signerCert).
  * Added SCEPResponseEnvelope struct — what the service hands back to
    the handler so the handler can build the CertRep PKIMessage with
    the correct status / failInfo / nonce echoes.
  * Existing constants preserved unchanged.

internal/config/config.go
  * SCEPConfig.RACertPath + RAKeyPath fields with the doc-comment density
    matching the existing ChallengePassword field.
  * Env-var loading: CERTCTL_SCEP_RA_CERT_PATH + CERTCTL_SCEP_RA_KEY_PATH.
  * Validate() refuse: SCEP enabled with empty RA pair fails loud at
    startup (defense-in-depth with the new preflight gate below).

cmd/server/main.go
  * preflightSCEPRACertKey: file existence, mode 0600 gate (refuses
    world-/group-readable RA key), tls.X509KeyPair-based parse + match
    + algorithm check (one stdlib call covers parse + cert-key match +
    pubkey alg in one shot), expiry check, RSA-or-ECDSA gate (RFC 8894
    §3.5.2 CMS signing requirement). Mirrors preflightSCEPChallenge-
    Password's no-op-when-disabled pattern; each failure returns a
    wrapped error so the caller (main) translates to a structured
    slog.Error + os.Exit(1).
  * Wired into the SCEP startup block immediately after the existing
    challenge-password preflight; if it errors, the server refuses to
    boot with a specific log line + the pointer to docs/legacy-est-scep.md
    for the openssl recipe.
  * Added crypto/tls + crypto/x509 imports.

cmd/server/preflight_scep_ra_test.go (new)
  * Seven hermetic table-driven test cases covering each failure mode
    spelled out in the helper's docblock plus the no-op-when-disabled
    path. Each case materialises a real ECDSA P-256 cert/key pair on
    disk so the tls.X509KeyPair path is exercised end-to-end (catches
    drift in stdlib cert-parsing semantics that a mock would hide):
      - disabled SCEP no-op
      - missing paths (3 sub-cases: both empty, cert only, key only)
      - world-readable key (chmod 0644)
      - valid pair (happy path)
      - expired cert (NotAfter in past)
      - mismatched pair (cert from one ECDSA pair, key from another)
      - missing files (paths set but files don't exist)
      - ed25519 RA key (unsupported alg per RFC 8894 §3.5.2)
  * writeECDSARAPair helper materialises a fresh ECDSA pair under the
    test temp dir with the cert at 0644 and the key at 0600 (production
    deploy mode).

internal/config/config_test.go
  * TestValidate_SCEPEnabled_MissingRAPair_Refuses — 3 sub-cases pin
    the new Validate() refuse path (both empty, cert only, key only).
  * TestValidate_SCEPEnabled_CompleteRAPair_Accepts — pins the boundary
    that file-existence is the preflight's job, NOT Validate's.
  * TestValidate_SCEPDisabled_EmptyRAPair_Accepts — pins that the gate
    only fires when SCEP is enabled (mirrors the CHALLENGE_PASSWORD
    disabled-passes precedent).

docs/features.md
  * SCEP env-vars table extended with CERTCTL_SCEP_RA_CERT_PATH and
    CERTCTL_SCEP_RA_KEY_PATH (with the prod 'MUST set' callout +
    file-mode 0600 requirement). Closes the G-3 'env var defined in Go
    but never documented' CI guard for the new vars.

Verification:
  * gofmt clean for the files I touched (preflight_scep_ra_test.go +
    config.go + scep.go); pre-existing gofmt drift in unrelated files
    not in scope.
  * go vet ./internal/domain/... ./internal/config/... ./cmd/server/...
    clean.
  * go test -short -count=1 ./internal/domain/... ./internal/config/...
    ./cmd/server/... green.
  * Coverage held at handler 79.0% / service 73.2% / pkcs7 100% /
    config 96.1% / domain 88.6%.
  * Local G-3 set difference (Go-defined env vars ∖ docs-mentioned env
    vars) empty.

No behavior change for operators who don't enable SCEP. New behavior
gated by CERTCTL_SCEP_ENABLED=true + the new RA env vars. The MVP
raw-CSR fall-through path stays unchanged — Phase 2 will add the
RFC 8894 EnvelopedData decryption that consumes the RA pair.

Phase 1 of 14 in SCEP RFC 8894 + Intune master bundle.
Living progress at cowork/scep-rfc8894-intune/progress.md.
