Marcel b0d28c1e0b ci(deploy): extract reload-caddy composite action
First composite action in the repo (establishes the convention). Lifts the
Caddy reload step verbatim from nightly.yml/release.yml — DooD privileged
sibling + nsenter to systemctl reload caddy, pinned alpine digest, reload
not restart. No inputs.

Reload the host Caddy service from a DooD job container via a privileged
sibling container and nsenter. No inputs.

- name: Reload Caddy
shell: bash
# Apply any committed Caddyfile changes before smoke-testing the
# public surface. Without this step, a Caddyfile edit lands in the
# repo but Caddy keeps serving the previous config until someone
# reloads it manually — the smoke test would then catch a stale
# header or a still-proxied /actuator route rather than confirming
# the current config is live.
#
# The runner executes job steps inside Docker containers (DooD).
# `systemctl` is not present in container images and cannot reach
# the host's systemd directly. We use the Docker socket (mounted
# into every job container via runner-config.yaml) to spin up a
# privileged sibling container in the host PID namespace; nsenter
# then enters the host's namespaces so systemctl talks to the real
# host systemd daemon. No sudoers entry is required — the Docker
# socket already grants root-equivalent host access.
#
# Alpine is used: ~5 MB vs ~70 MB for ubuntu, no unnecessary
# tooling, and the digest is pinned so any upstream change requires
# an explicit bump PR. util-linux (which ships nsenter) is installed
# at run time; apk add takes ~1 s on the warm VPS cache.
#
# `reload` not `restart`: reload sends SIGHUP so Caddy re-reads its
# config in-process without dropping TLS connections. `restart`
# would briefly stop the service, losing in-flight requests.
#
# If Caddy is not running this step fails fast before the smoke test
# issues a misleading "port 443 refused" error.
