wweir 8a3670d50e feat(sowerd): add an optional HTTP Basic gate for site routes
Site-route domains become public once autocert issues for them
(Certificate Transparency), and the edge answers any SNI. An upstream that
cannot authenticate its own visitors is therefore exposed, and sowerd owns
80/443 on the host, so nothing can be placed in front of it.

Add an opt-in per-route visitor gate:

- config: site_routes[].auth {username, password}; both fields required,
  empty means ungated, ':' rejected in the username (RFC 7617 splits there).
- runtime: the gate runs in the reverse-proxy handler, so it covers path
  overrides and WebSocket upgrades too; the sower transport path is
  dispatched earlier and stays untouched. Credentials are compared in
  constant time, failed attempts accumulate per source IP and lock it out for
  15 minutes (bounded map, mirroring the admin login throttle), and a passing
  request has its Authorization header removed so the edge credential never
  reaches the upstream. The fake-site decoy is deliberately never gated.
- fix: upstream URL userinfo was silently dropped. ReverseProxy sends
  through a Transport, and only net/http.Client turns userinfo into Basic
  credentials, so sowerd now sets that header itself; the upstream password
  is redacted in proxy error logs (url.URL.Redacted).
- docs: security.md records the mechanism and its limits (not a substitute
  for upstream auth, no session/logout, CORS preflight blind spot, and the
  browser WebSocket handshake: script cannot set Authorization, cached-
  credential replay is browser-specific and unverified, and a reconnecting
  client's failed handshakes feed the same per-IP counter, so it can lock its
  own source IP out of the whole route) plus the rejected alternatives
  (session login, gating the fake site).

Gate: gofmt, go vet ./..., go test ./... green; install_e2e_test PASS.
