riccardom 7a1f095eb5 [client] Make config reads pure and provision the identity explicitly
Reading a config wrote it back. profilemanager.readConfig persisted whatever
apply() had filled in, and ReadConfig created and wrote the file outright when
it was absent, so every reader was quietly a writer: a gate deciding whether to
refuse a request, a UI listing profiles, a mobile getter reading one preference.
The previous commit worked around that with a PeekConfig variant, which left
two read functions with opposite side effects and the antipattern still there
for everyone else.

Only one thing in a read genuinely had to be persisted: apply() generated the
WireGuard and SSH keys when it found them empty, and a generated key cannot be
recomputed — losing it means the peer comes back with a different identity and
registers again. Everything else apply() fills in is a deterministic default
that the next read recomputes anyway.

So identity provisioning is now its own step, Config.EnsureIdentity, and the
callers that provision write the result out themselves, in the open:

- Server.getConfig, the daemon's provisioning point;
- the CLI's foreground login, which is about to dial management;
- update() / directUpdate(), the config write paths — a stored profile can
  legitimately carry no identity, since a mobile logout clears the keys in
  place, and the next write is what has to mint a new one.

ReadConfig and GetConfig no longer write anything, PeekConfig is gone, and the
dry-run baseline no longer needs placeholder keys to keep apply() from minting
real ones.

One deliberate leftover: readConfig still calls util.EnforcePermission, which
chmods a config file whose permissions are too broad. It changes no content and
is idempotent, and dropping it would leave a legacy file world-readable until
its first write.
