fix(discovery): cache a successful but empty Tailscale lookup (#6228)

The host cache was gated on the list being non-empty, so "queried fine, no
eligible peers" looked exactly like a cold cache and every caller paid for
another `tailscale status --json` — a subprocess with a 5s timeout.

Gate on the timestamp instead. Failures still leave the timestamp unset, so a
missing binary, a non-zero exit or unparseable output stays retryable rather
than being cached for the full TTL.
