kb(whp/admin): document panel HSTS + VM-rebuild lockout recovery
The WHP panel sends Strict-Transport-Security max-age=31536000
includeSubDomains on every response (correct for prod). When a server
is rebuilt, the regenerated self-signed cert no longer matches what
the admin's browser cached as HSTS-valid, and there is no clickable
'proceed unsafely' escape — the admin is locked out of their own
panel by hostname.

Add a Caution Aside under Network & SSL describing the symptom, the
two-browser HSTS confirmation pattern, and the three recovery paths
(IP-direct + LE issuance, browser HSTS clear, real cert preserved
across rebuilds). Frames LE issuance as a first-day operation, not an
incident response.
