Guard push-subscription endpoints against SSRF (#265)

* Guard push-subscription endpoints against SSRF

Web push delivery POSTed to the endpoint URL a user supplied when
registering a subscription, with no scheme, host, or private-network
check -- unlike the OpenGraph unfurl path, which already routes through
the shared SSRF address policy (surfguard). Any authenticated user could
register a subscription whose endpoint pointed at an internal address and
have the server fetch it on every chat message: blind SSRF for internal
recon and reachability probing, plus a thread-pool DoS on the delivery
pool.

Validate the endpoint when the subscription is saved: it must be HTTPS,
its host must belong to a known browser push service (allowlist), and it
must resolve to a public IP. On every delivery, re-resolve the host and
pin the connection to that public IP so a later DNS rebind can't redirect
the request to an internal address. If no public IP resolves at delivery
time -- a rebind, or a subscription that predates this validation --
delivery is skipped rather than falling back to re-resolving the raw
host.

Adds model, controller, and delivery-pinning tests, plus a DNS stub
helper for deterministic resolution in tests.

* Route push endpoint guarding through RestrictedHTTP::PrivateNetworkGuard

The endpoint SSRF check already delegated its private-network classification
to surfguard, but called Surfguard.resolve_public_ips directly rather than
through RestrictedHTTP::PrivateNetworkGuard -- the hostname-in, address-out
shim #241 established as the app's single guarded-outbound entry point and
that Opengraph::Fetch resolves through. Route push resolution through the same
guard so once-campfire keeps one place that resolves and classifies outbound
addresses. Behavior is unchanged: the guard raises Violation when a permitted
host resolves only to blocked addresses (previously an empty list -> nil) and
propagates Surfguard::Unresolvable for a host that resolves to nothing; both
map to a nil endpoint IP, which fails validation and skips delivery. The
allowlist, HTTPS/443 constraints, and per-delivery IP pinning are unchanged.

* Address push-SSRF review: defer DNS off enqueue path, disable proxy on pinned path, revalidate on re-registration

- Resolve the guarded endpoint IP lazily inside WebPush::Notification#deliver
  (on the bounded delivery worker) instead of eagerly when the notification is
  built on the serial enqueue path, so a slow resolver can't stall the push job
  before any delivery starts. resolved_endpoint_ip only reads the already-loaded
  endpoint attribute, so it is safe off the AR connection.
- Pin the delivery socket with an explicit nil proxy address so http_proxy/
  https_proxy can't route the request through a proxy that re-resolves the host
  and defeats the ipaddr pin.
- Revalidate an existing subscription on re-registration so a row predating
  endpoint validation gets the same 422 as a fresh create instead of being kept
  alive by touch.
- Regression tests: resolution deferred to delivery, pin survives proxy env,
  legacy invalid row rejected with 422.

* Bound the web-push delivery queue (max_queue, not the ignored queue_size)

Concurrent::ThreadPoolExecutor takes :max_queue; :queue_size was silently
ignored, leaving the delivery backlog unbounded (max_queue: 0). A flood of
valid push subscriptions could accumulate queued deliveries without limit --
more acute now that each delivery task also resolves DNS. Using max_queue: 10000
activates the intended cap; overflow raises RejectedExecutionError under the
default :abort policy, which deliver_later already rescues (push is best-effort,
retried on the next message).

* Trim push-SSRF guard comments to match house style

Apply the review suggestions on the push-subscription SSRF guard: replace
the verbose rationale comments with terse one-liners (or drop them where
the code speaks for itself). No behavior change -- the Surfguard-shim
routing, per-delivery public-IP pin, and bounded delivery queue are
untouched.
