Separate web UI into standalone metacrypt-web binary

The vault server holds in-memory unsealed state (KEK, engine keys) that
is lost on restart, requiring a full unseal ceremony. Previously the web
UI ran inside the vault process, so any UI change forced a restart and
re-unseal.

This change extracts the web UI into a separate metacrypt-web binary
that communicates with the vault over an authenticated gRPC connection.
The web server carries no sealed state and can be restarted freely.

- gen/metacrypt/v1/: generated Go bindings from proto/metacrypt/v1/
- internal/grpcserver/: full gRPC server implementation (System, Auth,
  Engine, PKI, Policy, ACME services) with seal/auth/admin interceptors
- internal/webserver/: web server with gRPC vault client; templates
  embedded via web/embed.go (no runtime web/ directory needed)
- cmd/metacrypt-web/: standalone binary entry point
- internal/config: added [web] section (listen_addr, vault_grpc, etc.)
- internal/server/routes.go: removed all web UI routes and handlers
- cmd/metacrypt/server.go: starts gRPC server alongside HTTP server
- Deploy: Dockerfile builds both binaries, docker-compose adds
  metacrypt-web service, new metacrypt-web.service systemd unit,
  Makefile gains proto/metacrypt-web targets
