This allows gitops-pusher to detect external ACL changes. I'm not
sure what to call this problem, so I've been calling it the "three
version problem" in my notes. The basic problem is that at any given
time we only have two versions of the ACL file at any given point:
the version in CONTROL and the one in the git repo. In order to
check if there has been tampering of the ACL files in the admin
panel, we need to have a _third_ version to compare against.
In this case I am not storing the old ACL entirely (though that could
be a reasonable thing to add in the future), but only its sha256sum.
This allows us to detect if the shasum in control matches the shasum
we expect, and if that expectation fails, then we can react
accordingly.
This will require additional configuration in CI, but I'm sure that
can be done.

Apparently the API for running ACL tests returns a 200 if the ACL tests
fail. This is weird, but we can handle it.

This is for an upcoming blogpost on how to manage Tailscale ACLs using a
GitOps flow. This tool is intended to be used in CI and will allow users
to have a git repository be the ultimate source of truth for their ACL
file. This enables ACL changes to be proposed, approved and discussed
before they are applied.
