Michal febe4b72bc chore(migration): all DNS through VyOS to Google, NAS out of the path
The NAS is legacy for ad.itaz.eu and those records now live in Cloudflare, so
the zone resolves publicly -- verified: nas001.ad.itaz.eu and
kvm-macstudio1.ad.itaz.eu both answer from 8.8.8.8. That removes the reason for
a conditional forward and lets the NAS leave the DNS path entirely.

Two changes:

  - `service dns forwarding name-server` is now 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, the same
    pair the USG used on its WAN, instead of 10.0.0.194.
  - Every VLAN is handed the gateway as its resolver. UniFi set an explicit
    resolver on LoT only (the NAS); carrying that over would have kept the NAS
    in the path for one VLAN and not the other five, which is the sort of
    asymmetry nobody remembers a year later.

The NAS is still referenced 9 times, all legitimate and checked: 4 NAT
destination rules, the 4 matching firewall accepts for those port forwards, and
its own DHCP reservation. No DNS references remain.

Validated by loading vyos001's real running config on the labsim router and
applying the full delta -- all 318 commands accepted, no errors. Installed on
both boxes and verified in place: priority 200/100, upstream 8.8.8.8 + 8.8.4.4,
six client resolvers, 377 lines each.

"""Turn the UniFi export into the VyOS config that replaces it.
Scope is deliberately narrow: DHCP and DNS. Those are the services the USG owns
that VyOS must reproduce byte-for-byte in behaviour, because getting them wrong
means clients lose their addresses or their name resolution. Everything else
either stays on UniFi (wireless), has no VyOS equivalent (user groups), or is
hand-written because it is not in the export (WAN, NAT, VRRP).
This is not a general UniFi-to-VyOS converter and should not grow into one.
./unifi-to-vyos.py --mode prod # the cutover artifact
./unifi-to-vyos.py --mode sim # same MACs, labsim addresses
./unifi-to-vyos.py --mode prod --check # counts only, no output
Both modes come from one code path on purpose: the config proven in labsim and
the config applied to the firewalls must not be able to drift apart.
DNS note: UniFi hands out the gateway's own IP as resolver whenever a network
has no explicit dhcpd_dns -- true for 5 of the 6 VLANs, verified by labmaster
resolving against 192.168.8.1. So VyOS must run `service dns forwarding` or
those VLANs lose DNS entirely at cutover. LoT's explicit 10.0.0.194 is preserved
as-is.
