Add a session-stable CSP nonce and complete the directive set

Layer a Turbo-safe nonce and a full directive set onto the Report-Only
baseline, still without enforcing anything.

The nonce is the HMAC-SHA256 of a stable per-visitor cookie, keyed by
secret_key_base. It stays constant across a session's requests so Turbo
snapshot restores don't replay a stale nonce and trip the policy, while
staying unpredictable to a client that can set the cookie but not the
secret. importmap-rails auto-nonces the importmap JSON and shim, the only
inline scripts the app renders (the message _template is a non-executed
text/template data block).

script-src gains the nonce; style-src keeps unsafe_inline for now (inline
style= attributes across the composer and ActionText content aren't
nonceable yet); img/connect/frame-src start at :self as tuning starting
points for the report-only window. report_only stays true; enforcement is
a later flip.

# Session-stable nonce for permitted inline scripts (the importmap JSON + shim,
# auto-nonced by importmap-rails).
#
# The nonce is stable across a session's requests so Turbo snapshot restores
# don't replay a stale nonce and trip CSP. It's the HMAC of a stable cookie
# value keyed by the server secret: the cookie is client-settable, but the
# client can't predict the resulting nonce without knowing secret_key_base.
#
# Campfire sets no per-session verification cookie, so the lightweight
# nonce_id cookie — set on first visit, present for every session including
# unauthenticated ones — is the sole identifier.
