feat(oidc): allow_private_network opt-in for self-hosted IdPs

The SSRF guard on OIDC endpoint URLs hard-refused any hostname
resolving to a non-public address, which made it impossible to use a
self-hosted IdP (Keycloak, Authentik, Dex) on an internal network —
even though the login-flow issuer is operator-configured, i.e. trusted
input.

Add [oidc] allow_private_network in config.toml (or
TURNSTONE_OIDC_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORK), default off. When set, the
issuer and its discovered endpoints may resolve to private-range,
unique-local, CGNAT, and loopback addresses. Link-local, multicast,
unspecified, and reserved ranges stay refused regardless — cloud
metadata services live on link-local and no legitimate IdP does. The
HTTPS requirement and same-origin endpoint checks are unchanged.

The private-address refusal now raises OAuthSSRFPrivateAddressError,
and the OIDC wrapper appends the remediation hint to the error message
so the failure is self-service. mcp_oauth call sites — where endpoint
URLs come from untrusted remote-server metadata — do not get the knob
and keep the strict public-address rule.

this knob only relaxes the same-origin check, not the security gates.
Each entry is a hostname (no scheme, no path).
### Self-hosted and internal IdPs
By default Turnstone refuses an issuer whose hostname resolves to a
private or internal address:
```
OIDCError: endpoint URL resolves to non-public address (10.0.0.5): https://auth.example.site
```
This is SSRF hardening, not a licensing or product restriction: the OIDC
flow makes server-side HTTP requests (discovery, JWKS, token exchange),
and refusing non-public destinations keeps a mistyped or maliciously
steered issuer from aiming those fetches at internal services. For a
self-hosted IdP (Keycloak, Authentik, Dex, …) on a private network,
opt in explicitly in `config.toml`:
```toml
[oidc]
allow_private_network = true
```
or via `TURNSTONE_OIDC_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORK=true` (the env var wins
when both are set).
The opt-in admits private-range (RFC 1918), unique-local, CGNAT
(100.64/10 — tailnets), and loopback addresses. Link-local, multicast,
and reserved ranges stay refused even with the opt-in — cloud metadata
services (169.254.169.254) live there, and no legitimate IdP does. The
HTTPS requirement and the same-origin endpoint checks are unaffected.
This knob only affects the login-flow IdP configured here. OAuth
endpoints advertised by remote MCP servers are untrusted input and are
always held to the strict public-address rule.
