emily 3cba4cbd86 feat: add read-only emily monitoring account
buildbot/nix-eval Build done. (1 warning)
buildbot/nix-build Build done.
Adds a new NixOS module (greg.monitoring-access) that provisions a
dedicated, SSH-key-only 'emily' user account across all managed hosts.

The account is intentionally minimal-privilege:
- No password set (SSH key auth only)
- Not a member of wheel, no sudo/sudo-rs rules
- Only extra group membership is systemd-journal, granting read access
  to system logs for monitoring/analysis tasks
- Authorized key lives in home/ssh/emily_authorized_keys, mirroring the
  existing pattern used for the greg account's authorized_keys

This lets the Hermes agent (emily) log in read-only to inspect logs and
system state when asked, without any ability to modify configuration,
escalate privileges, or run destructive commands.

Module is imported unconditionally in modules/nixos/default.nix like
the other nixos modules, and defaults to enabled; it can be disabled
per-host via greg.monitoring-access.enable = false if ever needed.
