docs: Document the boxes

Add a top-level `README.md` mapping the boxes and per-machine docs under
`docs/boxes/` (grouped `colony/`, `home/`, `misc/`), one file per host, VM and
container documenting role, services and networking with source pointers.

Also point `AGENTS.md` at the new docs.

# britway
A Vultr VPS in London (`lon1`) acting as a network edge node: the Tailscale
control plane, an exit node, and a BGP speaker in the AS211024 mesh.
- **Source:** [`nixos/boxes/britway/`](../../../nixos/boxes/britway)
(`default.nix`, `bgp.nix`, `nginx.nix`, `tailscale.nix`)
- **Internal domain:** `lon1.int.nul.ie`
## Role
- **Headscale** ([`tailscale.nix`](../../../nixos/boxes/britway/tailscale.nix)) — the
self-hosted Tailscale control server (`hs.nul.ie`) the rest of the boxes log
into.
- **Tailscale node** — advertises itself as an **exit node** and advertises the
tailnet routes, so tailnet clients can egress / reach internal prefixes via
britway.
- **BGP** ([`bgp.nix`](../../../nixos/boxes/britway/bgp.nix)) — part of the AS211024
L2 VXLAN mesh (`my.vpns.l2`) alongside `estuary`, `river` and `stream`.
- **nginx** ([`nginx.nix`](../../../nixos/boxes/britway/nginx.nix)) — reverse proxy /
web front-end with ACME certs.
## Networking
- `vultr` assignment on the provider interface; `as211024` on the mesh.
- A `veth0`/`tailscale0` setup with SNAT so tailnet traffic egresses via the VPS
public IP.
