Adds tether via its NixOS module, enabled through a shared hosts/common/tether.nix on both Framework laptops.

Wifi (with the mDNS/TCP firewall ports) and bluetooth are both on. mhelton-fw13 had avahi forced off, which tether's wifi discovery needs, so that line is dropped. Both hosts also go back to powering the bluetooth adapter at boot, since the class of device unit and the messages/notification path need a live adapter.

nix build .#checks.x86_64-linux.nixos-r2d2 .#checks.x86_64-linux.nixos-mhelton-fw13 passes.

Tether bridges an iPhone to the Linux desktop for clipboard sync, file
transfer, messages, and notifications. Wifi discovery needs avahi, so
mhelton-fw13 no longer forces it off.
Tether's bluetooth features need a powered adapter, including the class
of device unit that runs alongside bluetooth.service.
