Add the browser send proxy and web sender

crates-server/yaak-send-proxy: a stateless executor over yaak-http's
HttpTransaction. It takes a rendered request, streams timeline events,
the response head, body chunks and the resulting cookies back as NDJSON,
and keeps nothing. Private/loopback/link-local/metadata ranges are refused
after DNS on every hop (an AddressFilter on the resolver plus a per-hop URL
check), with size caps, a timeout ceiling, a rate limit, host allow/deny
lists and an optional token.

The web host now sends through it: the wasm worker resolves and renders
the request (render_http_request moved into yaak-models so it builds for
wasm; re-exported from its old paths), the tab posts it, and stores what
comes back where the desktop stores it. Requests needing auth plugins or
template functions are refused with the reason until plugins run in the
browser.

//! The one thing this binary does: execute a rendered request and stream back what happened.
//!
//! This is the "execute" half of the desktop's `send_http_request` — the part after rendering
//! and before storage — driven through the same `HttpTransaction` the desktop drives, with the
//! same redirect loop, cookie jar, decompression and timeline events. Everything the desktop
//! would write to its database is written to the reply stream instead, and the tab stores it.
