fix(coturn): remove plaintext TURN shared secret, rotate leaked value
Auto-Deploy on Push / verify-and-notify (push) Canceled after 0s

Issue #38 discussion surfaced a real bug: the TURN shared secret was
duplicated - correctly SOPS-encrypted in coturn-secret.yaml, but also
hardcoded in plaintext in synapse-values.yaml (a plain, non-SOPS
ConfigMap), visible in git history. Also found turn_user_lifetime is
86400000ms (24h), not "short-lived" as previously assumed - raising the
stakes of the leak somewhat.

Extracted the turn config block into its own dedicated SOPS-encrypted
Secret (synapse-turn-secret.yaml), wired via a second HelmRelease
valuesFrom entry (same pattern already used for ess-mas-values-secret).
Rotated the value while doing this, so the leaked plaintext secret is no
longer live anywhere.

Added checksum/rotated-at annotations (matrix-stack HelmRelease's
existing element-config-checksum patch gets a sibling turn-secret-checksum;
coturn's Deployment pod template gets a rotated-at annotation) so future
rotations actually restart both consumers - Kubernetes doesn't restart
running pods when a referenced Secret's content changes on its own.
