feat(M47): add Kubernetes Secrets target + AWS ACM PCA issuer connectors

Implement both M47 connectors with full cross-layer wiring:

Kubernetes Secrets target: DNS-1123 validation, kubernetes.io/tls Secret
create-or-update, chain concatenation, serial number validation, Helm
RBAC gating. 18 tests.

AWS ACM Private CA issuer: synchronous issuance (like Vault), ARN regex
validation, RFC 5280 revocation reason mapping, CA cert retrieval,
factory + env var seeding. 23 tests.

Cross-cutting: domain types, service validation, config, factory, agent
dispatch, frontend (TargetsPage, issuerTypes), OpenAPI, seed data, Helm
chart, connectors docs, README. Testing docs (testing-guide, qa-test-guide,
qa_test.go) with Parts thematically integrated near related connectors.

### Built-in: AWS ACM Private CA
AWS Certificate Manager Private Certificate Authority — managed private CA on AWS. Synchronous issuance via ACM PCA API with standard AWS credential chain (env vars, IAM roles, instance profiles, SSO).
| Setting | Required | Default | Description |
|---------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `CERTCTL_AWS_PCA_REGION` | Yes | — | AWS region (e.g., `us-east-1`) |
| `CERTCTL_AWS_PCA_CA_ARN` | Yes | — | ARN of the ACM Private CA |
| `CERTCTL_AWS_PCA_SIGNING_ALGORITHM` | No | `SHA256WITHRSA` | Signing algorithm |
| `CERTCTL_AWS_PCA_VALIDITY_DAYS` | No | `365` | Certificate validity in days |
| `CERTCTL_AWS_PCA_TEMPLATE_ARN` | No | — | Optional certificate template ARN |
**Supported signing algorithms:** SHA256WITHRSA, SHA384WITHRSA, SHA512WITHRSA, SHA256WITHECDSA, SHA384WITHECDSA, SHA512WITHECDSA.
**Authentication:** Standard AWS credential chain. The connector uses `aws-sdk-go-v2/config.LoadDefaultConfig()` which supports environment variables (`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`), IAM roles (EC2/ECS), instance profiles, and SSO credentials.
**Note:** CRL and OCSP are managed by AWS ACM PCA directly. certctl records revocations locally and notifies AWS via the RevokeCertificate API with RFC 5280 reason mapping.

### Kubernetes Secrets
The Kubernetes Secrets connector deploys certificates as `kubernetes.io/tls` Secrets, compatible with Ingress controllers (nginx-ingress, Traefik, HAProxy), service meshes (Istio, Linkerd), and any Kubernetes workload that reads TLS Secrets.
```json
{
"namespace": "production",
"secret_name": "api-tls",
"labels": {"app": "api-gateway"},
"kubeconfig_path": "/home/agent/.kube/config"
}
```
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `namespace` | string | *(required)* | Kubernetes namespace (DNS-1123, max 63 chars) |
| `secret_name` | string | *(required)* | Secret name (DNS subdomain, max 253 chars) |
| `labels` | object | | Additional labels to apply to the Secret |
| `kubeconfig_path` | string | | Path to kubeconfig for out-of-cluster agents |
**Deployment modes:**
- **In-cluster (default):** Agent runs as a Pod with a ServiceAccount. Authentication via auto-mounted token. Requires RBAC (`secrets.get`, `secrets.create`, `secrets.update`, `secrets.list`) — see Helm chart.
- **Out-of-cluster:** Agent runs outside the cluster with `kubeconfig_path` pointing to a kubeconfig file. Useful for proxy agent pattern.
**Secret format:** Standard `kubernetes.io/tls` with `tls.crt` (cert + chain PEM) and `tls.key` (private key PEM). Managed labels (`app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: certctl`) and annotations (`certctl.io/deployed-at`, `certctl.io/certificate-id`) are applied automatically.
**Validation:** After deployment, the connector reads the Secret back and compares the certificate serial number to verify successful deployment.

## Notifier Connector
Notifier connectors send alerts about certificate lifecycle events (expiration warnings, renewal success/failure, deployment status, policy violations).
