feat(talos): node network on VLAN 46, etcd pinned to VLAN 40 (#576 step 1)

- node0: VLANConfig on the uplink trunk, VLAN 46, static fd02:46::1x/64
  and 10.2.46.1x/24, accept_ra 0. Closed like pod0. Unused until the node
  IP moves there (step 3).
- cluster.etcd.advertisedSubnets pinned to 10.2.40.0/24 so a reboot
  cannot pick a node0 address: Talos never updates an existing member's
  peer URLs.

Applied live with talosctl patch --mode=no-reboot, k8s-3 first. Node IPs
unchanged, etcd 3/3 healthy, node0 reachable node to node over v6 and v4.
