Subject: [PATCH] templates: apply the tvOS setup reorder to the served /apple
 page

The instructions are duplicated between the docs and the HTML page
headscale serves at /apple. Reorder the tvOS steps there to match, so
the VPN configuration is installed before the alternate coordination
server URL is set.
