The neuron package was shipping its config at /etc/cortex/neuron.toml,
which implied a shared config directory between two independent
packages. Move to /etc/neuron/neuron.toml — neuron owns its own etc
dir, consistent with its own /usr/lib/sysusers.d/neuron.conf and
/usr/lib/systemd/system/neuron.service. Updated the systemd unit's
ExecStart path and the example toml header to match.

dnf5 was silently rejecting neuron-0.1.3 with "Nothing to do" because
it had an unresolvable Requires. Inspection showed:
Requires: user(cortex) ← unversioned
Provides: user(cortex) = <base64> ← versioned only, no unversioned
rpm's sysusers provides-generator only emits the unversioned user()
provide when the u-line is minimal. Our sysusers.conf specifies GECOS,
home dir, and shell, which pushes the generator to versioned-only.
The matching Requires (auto-generated from %attr(,,cortex) on config
files) is unversioned, so resolution failed silently.
Explicitly declare Provides: user(cortex) and Provides: group(cortex)
to guarantee the unversioned forms exist. group(cortex) was already
emitted unversioned but adding it for symmetry and to protect against
future generator changes.

cortex-gateway.conf/cortex-neuron.conf implied a hierarchy or coupling
that doesn't exist — cortex and neuron are independent packages.
Each package's sysusers.d file now matches the package name:
cortex ships cortex.conf, neuron ships neuron.conf. Content is still
identical (both create the cortex system user/group), and filenames
remain distinct so the packages can coinstall.

Both packages set %attr(...,cortex) on their config files, which
caused RPM's auto-dep-generator to emit Requires: group(cortex) /
user(cortex). The %pre scriptlets that actually created the group
ran too late — dnf rejected neuron installation on hosts without
cortex because nothing Provided group(cortex).
Switch to systemd-sysusers declarative user creation: each package
ships its own named sysusers.d file (cortex-gateway.conf and
cortex-neuron.conf — different names so both packages can coinstall)
with identical content defining the cortex user/group. RPM's
user/group dep generator now emits Provides: user(cortex) and
Provides: group(cortex) automatically from the sysusers.d files,
satisfying the auto-generated Requires. Either package installs
standalone; both can coinstall on the gateway host if desired.
Also added Requires: systemd since %sysusers_create_compat depends
on systemd-sysusers being present on the target.

COPR build failed on openssl-sys because openssl headers were not
available in the mock chroot. Adding:
- pkgconfig(openssl): fixes the immediate openssl-sys failure.
Kept as a build dep because we plan to add optional mTLS between
cortex and neuron, which requires native-tls/openssl at build time.
- cmake, gcc-c++: aws-lc-sys (pulled via rustls) compiles libcrypto
via cmake and includes C++ sources. Would be the next failure after
openssl.
- perl-interpreter: catchall for -sys crate build scripts.

- cortex.spec: gateway binary, cortex.service systemd unit,
cortex.toml + models.toml config files
- neuron.spec: neuron binary, neuron.service systemd unit,
neuron.toml config file
- Parallel CI: srpm-cortex and srpm-neuron jobs build SRPMs
concurrently, then publish to separate COPR repos
(helexa/cortex and helexa/neuron)
- Shared cortex user/group across both packages
- Example configs: cortex.example.toml, neuron.example.toml,
models.example.toml
