Switch plop.so apex template from A records to CNAME

[ccarse]

Description

Updates the plop.so.website-apex template to use a CNAME record at apex instead of hardcoded A record IPs. The previous A record IPs (104.21.9.9, 172.67.140.209) are Cloudflare shared proxy IPs that caused Error 1000 for domains also on Cloudflare.

Uses CNAME with `host: "@"` and `hostRequired: true` — Cloudflare applies CNAME flattening at the zone apex automatically and ignores the hostRequired flag. This follows the same pattern as PR #905 (spinlab.studio), which was confirmed by the Cloudflare Domain Connect team.

Changes:

• Record type: 2x A records -> CNAME pointing to plop.so
• Set hostRequired: true (required by spec for CNAME with host "@")
• Version bumped to 2

Type of change

• New template
• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue in the template)
• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality to the template)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing template behavior to be not backward compatible)

How Has This Been Tested?

• Template functionality checked using Online Editor
• Template filename follows `..json` pattern
• Resource URL with `logoUrl` is served by webserver

Checklist of common problems

• `syncPubKeyDomain` is set in every template
• `warnPhishing` is not used alongside `syncPubKeyDomain`
• `syncRedirectDomain` not needed (no redirect_uri)
• No SPF content in TXT records
• `txtConflictMatchingMode` not needed (no TXT records)
• No bare variables as full record values
• No bare variables as full host labels
• No variables creating subdomains in host field
• `%host%` not used in host attributes
• `essential` not needed (non-modifiable records)

Note: Apex test (no host) is not applicable since hostRequired=true. Cloudflare ignores this flag and applies CNAME flattening at apex regardless — confirmed by Cloudflare Domain Connect team in PR #905.
