fix(ssrf): let .local/.internal hostnames pass to IP-level checks

The pre-DNS hostname block was redundant: any .local/.internal host
that resolves to a private IP is already gated by isPrivateNetwork +
ALLOW_INTERNAL_NETWORK, and any that resolves to loopback/link-local
is caught by isAlwaysBlocked unconditionally.

Dropping the hostname pre-check means Docker/LAN deployments can reach
services on .local hostnames (e.g. immich.local) with
ALLOW_INTERNAL_NETWORK=true, while loopback and link-local IPs
(including 169.254.169.254) remain hard-blocked with no override.

Reverts the isAlwaysBlocked guard loosening from 9a08368.

All outbound requests go through an SSRF guard (`ssrfGuard.ts`). The guard resolves the hostname to an IP address before allowing the connection and blocks addresses in private ranges.
## Blocked unless `ALLOW_INTERNAL_NETWORK=true`
## Always blocked (no override possible)
All of the following are blocked by default and can be permitted by setting `ALLOW_INTERNAL_NETWORK=true`:
These ranges are blocked regardless of any setting:
| Range / Hostname | Description |
| Range | Description |
|---|---|
| `127.0.0.0/8`, `::1` | Loopback |
| `0.0.0.0/8` | Unspecified |
| `169.254.0.0/16`, `fe80::/10` | Link-local / cloud metadata endpoints |
| `::ffff:127.x.x.x`, `::ffff:169.254.x.x` | IPv4-mapped loopback and link-local |
## Blocked unless `ALLOW_INTERNAL_NETWORK=true`
| Range / Hostname | Description |
|---|---|
| `10.0.0.0/8` | RFC-1918 private |
| `172.16.0.0/12` | RFC-1918 private |
| `192.168.0.0/16` | RFC-1918 private |
| `100.64.0.0/10` | CGNAT / Tailscale shared address space |
| `fc00::/7` | IPv6 ULA |
| IPv4-mapped RFC-1918 variants | e.g. `::ffff:10.x`, `::ffff:192.168.x` |
| `*.local`, `*.internal` hostnames | mDNS / internal DNS suffixes |
| `*.local`, `*.internal` hostnames | mDNS / internal DNS suffixes (e.g. Docker service names, LAN hosts) |
The hostname `localhost` is not blocked at the hostname stage but resolves to `127.0.0.1`, which falls under the loopback rule above.
The hostname `localhost` is not blocked at the hostname stage, but it resolves to `127.0.0.1` which is caught by the loopback rule above and is therefore always blocked.
> **Warning:** `ALLOW_INTERNAL_NETWORK=true` also permits loopback and link-local addresses, including `169.254.169.254` (cloud instance metadata). Do **not** set this flag on a cloud-hosted TREK instance.
`*.local` and `*.internal` hostnames are permitted when `ALLOW_INTERNAL_NETWORK=true` — the guard still resolves them to an IP and enforces all IP-level rules, so any such hostname that resolves to a loopback or link-local address remains blocked regardless.
