enable IP forwarding via entrypoint (fixes IPv6 subnet routes)
ci/woodpecker/pr/pr-build Pipeline was successful

tailscaled does not reliably enable IPv6 forwarding inside a container
network namespace ('IPv6 forwarding is disabled'), so advertised IPv6
subnet routes silently fail. Add a tiny entrypoint.sh that sets
net.ipv4.ip_forward and net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding (writable inside a
RouterOS container netns), then exec's tailscaled. Built in the builder
stage so it stays in the single /usr/local/bin COPY layer.

Verified: privileged run flips v6 forwarding 0->1 and exec's tailscaled
with CMD args intact.
