justin 4276adab80 infra(mail): fix warmed sending IPs dropping off ens18 on reboot (Jun 24 outage)
Unattended kernel-upgrade reboot (Jun 24 04:04) left only .71 bound because
classic ifupdown applies just the first 'address' line. Postfix then failed to
bind .94/.107 ('Cannot assign requested address') and silently egressed from
.71 -- which is NOT in SPF (every fallback msg failed SPF) and is on RLR621 +
Trend ERS-QIL. ~37h of bypassed IP-warming + a near-zero sales day.

Fixes:
- /etc/network/interfaces: explicit up/down ip-addr hooks for .72/.94/.107
- pw-mail-ips.service: systemd oneshot re-binds IPs + flushes queue on boot
- pw-mail-ip-watchdog: */5 cron re-binds missing IPs + flushes, also catches
  'Cannot assign' bind failures
- runbook: full incident writeup + reboot-test lesson

Host already remediated live; this commits the host artifacts + docs.

# Guard against the Jun 24 incident: an unattended reboot dropped the warmed
# sending IPs (.94/.107) off ens18 because classic ifupdown only applies the
# first "address" line. Postfix then fell back to egressing from .71 (NOT in
# SPF, on RLR621/Trend ERS-QIL) for ~37h, tanking deliverability silently.
# This re-binds any missing sending IP and logs/flushes if it had to act.
