volker.raschekandCopilot ad7b76852b feat: assert that the signing certificate authority is available
Issuing an intermediate certificate authority or a client certificate always
signs against the private key of the parent authority, regardless of whether
that authority is managed in the same run. With `certificate_authority_root_ca_skip`
or `certificate_authority_intermediate_ca_skip` enabled and no previously
provisioned key at the configured path, this surfaced as a generic module error
deep inside the signing task.

Stat the parent private key upfront and assert its presence, so the failure
names the missing path and the variables that control it. Skipping the parent
remains valid when its key already exists, because the check inspects the file
instead of the skip variable.
