6568cef868 Replace Traefik with kamal-proxy
[kamal-proxy](https://github.com/basecamp/kamal-proxy) is a custom
minimal proxy designed specifically for Kamal.

It has some advantages over Traefik:
1. Imperative deployments - we tell it to switch from container A to
   container B, and it waits for container B to start then switches. No
   need to poll for health checks ourselves or mess around with forcing
   health checks to fail.
2. Support for multiple apps - as much as possible, configuration is
   supplied at runtime by the deploy command, allowing us to have
   multiple apps share a proxy without conflicting config.
3. First class support for Kamal operations - rather than trying to
   work out how to make Traefik do what we want, we can build features
   directly into the proxy, making configuration simpler and avoiding
   obscure errors

bcfa1d83e8 Configurable Kamal directory
To avoid polluting the default SSH directory with lots of Kamal config,
we'll default to putting them in a `kamal` sub directory.

But also make the directory configurable with the `run_directory` key,
so for example you can set it as `/var/run/kamal/`

The directory is created during bootstrap or before any command that
will need to access a file.
