Publish CRL for the unprivileged OpenVPN user so crl_verify works

- ovpmon-helper: new publish-crl command (validated copy of pki/crl.pem to
  /etc/openvpn/crl.pem, root:root 644); crl-verify allowlisted only for
  that path; CRL is refreshed on service start/restart.
- Profiler: publish after gen-crl (init/revoke) and on server/configure;
  generator renders the published path when running unprivileged.
- doas rule for publish-crl; docs and helper copy updated.
