feat(netbird): auto-renew NetBird client-update API tokens before expiry

The tokens captured for central update control expire (NetBird enforces a
365-day max on Personal Access Tokens), and nothing was renewing them —
discovered that the 47 tokens created via the browser-automation bulk
onboarding were actually only 30-day tokens (left the UI's default
expiration field untouched instead of setting 365), so they would have
silently broken automatic-update control next month with no warning.

- Bumped all existing tokens to fresh 365-day ones via the API (using the
  still-valid old token as bearer — no re-login needed)
- Added netbird_api_token_renewed_at per deployment
- Scheduler now checks daily and renews any token older than 300 days
  automatically, so this never needs to be done by hand again
