feat(work): headless Secret Service for gcx keychain tokens
gcx stores its OAuth access and refresh tokens in the system keychain
unconditionally -- its config file keeps only opaque `keychain:gcx:v2:...`
handles -- and exposes no plaintext fallback. With nothing owning
org.freedesktop.secrets on this headless WSL box, `gcx login` authenticates
against Grafana and then dies writing its config: "The name is not activatable".

Add services.headlessSecretService: gnome-keyring as a systemd --user service,
unlocking the login keyring at start. home-manager's own services.gnome-keyring
does not fit here on two counts -- it is WantedBy graphical-session-pre.target,
which never activates without a desktop session, and it passes no --unlock, so
writes would block on a GUI prompter that does not exist.

Only the secrets component is started. The ssh component is deliberately off: it
would claim SSH_AUTH_SOCK and displace services.ssh-agent, breaking SSH auth and
signed commits.

The unlock password defaults to a random one generated on first activation under
$XDG_DATA_HOME. The passwordFile option is the seam for supplying it from an
agenix secret instead, once that lands.
