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.

### Entrypoint: IP forwarding
`ENTRYPOINT` is a small `entrypoint.sh` that enables IPv4 and IPv6 forwarding
(`net.ipv4.ip_forward`, `net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding`) in the container's
network namespace, then `exec`s `tailscaled` (so the daemon stays PID 1). This
is necessary because `tailscaled` does **not** reliably enable IPv6 forwarding
itself inside a container netns — it logs "IPv6 forwarding is disabled" and
advertised IPv6 subnet routes silently fail. The sysctls are writable from
inside a RouterOS container, so the entrypoint sets them directly; no
host-side or `/container` configuration is required. The script is created in
the builder stage so it ships in the same single `/usr/local/bin` `COPY` layer
(preserving the [single-copy property](#avoiding-overlayfs-layer-duplication)).
