scheduler/service: crlGenerationLoop + CRLCacheService with singleflight

Phase 3 of the CRL/OCSP responder bundle. Adds the scheduler-driven
pre-generation pipeline that lets the /.well-known/pki/crl/{issuer_id}
HTTP handler (Phase 4) serve from cache instead of regenerating per
request.

What landed:

  * internal/scheduler/scheduler.go:
    - CRLCacheServicer interface (RegenerateAll(ctx))
    - Scheduler struct gains crlCacheService + crlGenerationInterval +
      crlGenerationRunning fields; default interval 1h
    - SetCRLCacheService + SetCRLGenerationInterval setters following
      the existing Set* convention (cloudDiscovery, digest, etc.)
    - Wired into Start: optional loop, gated on crlCacheService != nil
    - crlGenerationLoop: ticker + atomic.Bool re-entry guard +
      WaitGroup integration mirroring digestLoop
    - runCRLGeneration: 5-minute timeout per cycle; per-issuer
      failures are caught inside RegenerateAll itself

  * internal/service/crl_cache.go — CRLCacheService:
    - Get(ctx, issuerID) → (der, thisUpdate, err)
      cache hit → DB read; miss/stale → singleflight regenerate
    - RegenerateAll(ctx) — walks every issuer in registry; per-issuer
      failures logged + audited (crl_generation_events) but don't
      abort the cycle
    - In-tree singleflight gate (~30 LoC, sync.Map[issuerID]*flightEntry)
      — collapses concurrent miss requests for the same issuer into
      one underlying generation. No new dep on golang.org/x/sync
    - Uses existing CAOperationsSvc.GenerateDERCRL for the heavy work
      (no duplication of CRL-build logic); parses returned DER to
      recover thisUpdate / nextUpdate / number / count
    - Failure-event recording is best-effort (failure to record does
      not fail the operation) — events are an audit aid, not a gate

  * internal/service/crl_cache_test.go — 8 tests:
    - Cache hit, miss, staleness paths
    - RegenerateAll happy + cancelled ctx
    - Singleflight: 20 concurrent misses → 1 generation
    - Failure event recording when issuer is missing from registry
    - Nil cache repo returns error

Coverage: service 73.5% (floor 70), scheduler 78.1% (floor 60).

Backward compat: unchanged for any caller that doesn't call
SetCRLCacheService. cmd/server/main.go wiring lands in Phase 4
alongside the POST OCSP endpoint + handler refactor to consult
the cache.
