feat(rpi5): add Docker host with LAN-restricted network socket

Enable Docker and expose the daemon over TCP 2375 by extending the systemd
docker.socket ListenStream (avoids the daemon.json hosts vs unit -H fd://
conflict). The port is not added to allowedTCPPorts; instead an nftables
rule accepts it only from the trusted LAN subnet. Plain 2375 is
root-equivalent, so the source restriction is the only safeguard -- mTLS on
2376 is the documented upgrade path.

# Docker host with the daemon socket exposed over the network.
#
# SECURITY: the daemon listens on plain TCP 2375 with NO TLS and NO auth. Access
# to that port is root-equivalent on this host (the Docker API can mount the
# host filesystem and run privileged containers). The ONLY thing protecting it
# is the nftables rule below, which accepts 2375 solely from the trusted LAN
# subnet. Do not widen that subnet to anything you do not fully trust. The
# secure upgrade path is mutual TLS on 2376 (--tlsverify with client certs);
# that needs out-of-band cert provisioning and is intentionally not wired here.
