fix argocd install + add root bootstrap Application manifest

- remove server.httproute from argocd values.yaml: helm install failed
  since Gateway API CRDs (installed by envoy-gateway, wave 2) don't
  exist yet; HTTPRoute is already applied manually in Phase 6
- add bootstrap-app.yaml as the Git-committed root/seed Application,
  replacing ad-hoc UI creation (GitOps anti-pattern: apps not stored
  in Git can't be recreated)

-In ArgoCD UI, create a new Application:
+`bootstrap-app.yaml` (repo root) is the one seed manifest — it lives in Git, not created ad-hoc via UI/CLI. Per GitOps practice, every Application ArgoCD runs must be recreatable from Git; a UI-created app that's stored nowhere can't survive a rebuild. This is the only manifest ever applied by hand — everything downstream (including ArgoCD managing itself, wave -1) is reached by ArgoCD syncing `bootstrap/apps/` from here.
