chore(migration): firewalls resolve via 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4

Matches the DNS the USG used on its WAN (wan_dns1/wan_dns2), replacing the
10.0.0.194 I had set earlier. Applied to both boxes and saved; VRRP unchanged
(MASTER/BACKUP), NTP still synced, no config drift.

/config/modes/unifi.boot was RE-CAPTURED on both afterwards. It had been taken
before this change, so the escape hatch would have quietly reverted the
resolver on any rollback -- a snapshot is only an escape hatch for the state it
was taken from.

Two things recorded in the runbook:

  - The boxes' name resolution now depends on the internet, so between
    unplugging the USG and PPPoE establishing they have no DNS. Harmless:
    nothing in the switch resolves a name, and the health checks use DNS
    precisely to prove the WAN came up.
  - Internal ad.itaz.eu names still resolve via Google, because that zone is
    published publicly with private addresses in it (nas001 -> 10.0.0.194,
    kvm-macstudio1 -> 192.168.3.8). So no conditional forward was needed --
    though it is worth knowing the internal topology is public.

LoT — they get their addresses from VyOS now.
- **DHCP leases last 24h (86400s).** A device that does not renew promptly keeps
its old address for a while. That is fine, not a symptom.
- **The firewalls resolve via `10.0.0.194`**, not the USG. That was changed
ahead of time precisely so they keep DNS when the USG goes away.
- **The firewalls resolve via `8.8.8.8` / `8.8.4.4`** — matching the DNS the USG
used on its WAN. This means their own name resolution now depends on the
*internet* being up, so between unplugging the USG and PPPoE establishing,
the boxes have no DNS at all. That is expected and harmless: they only need
DNS for NTP hostnames, and the switch's own health checks use it precisely to
prove the WAN came up. Nothing in the switch itself resolves a name.
- Internal `ad.itaz.eu` names still resolve through Google, because that zone is
published publicly with private addresses in it (`nas001` → `10.0.0.194`,
`kvm-macstudio1` → `192.168.3.8`). Convenient here; worth knowing it is public.
- **The USG was a DNS resolver** for every VLAN except LoT. VyOS now runs
`dns forwarding` in its place. If names stop resolving but IPs still work,
that is where to look.
