fix: replace microsocks with dante-server (apt package, no compilation)

- Removes gcc/make/git and the microsocks git clone+build step
- Installs dante-server from apt — zero compilation required
- danted uses 'external: tun0' to explicitly route all proxied traffic
  through the VPN interface, more reliable than iptables-based routing
- Config is generated at runtime after tun0 is confirmed up
