policy: autogroup:internet does not generate packet filters

According to Tailscale SaaS behavior, autogroup:internet is handled
by exit node routing via AllowedIPs, not by packet filtering. ACL
rules with autogroup:internet as destination should produce no
filter rules for any node.

Previously, Headscale expanded autogroup:internet to public CIDR
ranges and distributed filters to exit nodes (because 0.0.0.0/0
"covers" internet destinations). This was incorrect.

Add detection for AutoGroupInternet in filter compilation to skip
filter generation for this autogroup. Update test expectations
accordingly.
