ipn/localapi,tstest/natlab: fix debug derp TLS check for sha256-raw CertName

serveDebugDERPRegion built its TLS config with
ServerName: cmp.Or(derpNode.CertName, derpNode.HostName), which for a
"sha256-raw:<hex>" CertName passed the raw fingerprint to Go's stock
verifier as a hostname; the handshake always failed with a hostname
mismatch. This is the second half of #15579; the first half (tailscaled
itself failing with "unexpected multiple certs presented") was fixed in

Extract a tlsConfigForNode helper that mirrors derphttp.Client.tlsClient
so that sha256-raw and domain-fronting CertName values are dispatched
to tlsdial.SetConfigExpectedCertHash and tlsdial.SetConfigExpectedCert
respectively, falling back to HostName when CertName is empty.

The core fix here was originally written by @imnuke in #19965; that PR
also added a unit test in ipn/localapi/debugderp_test.go which is
replaced in this commit by a new vmtest that exercises the whole stack:
vnet now serves a self-signed cert valid for each fake DERP node's
HostName and exposes its SHA-256 fingerprint, and vmtest grows a new
SelfSignedDERPCertPinning EnvOption that swaps the test DERP map's
nodes to CertName="sha256-raw:<hex>" with InsecureForTests cleared.
TestSelfSignedDERPHashPinning then stands up two hard-NAT'd nodes, has
them communicate over DERP, and calls DebugDERPRegion on each. Before
this fix the test fails with the exact x509 hostname-mismatch error
from the original bug; after, it passes.

Updates #15579
