Maurice 521e52c853 fix(collab): harden the link preview fetcher (#2058)
The preview endpoint takes a URL from whoever is typing in a trip chat and
fetches it from the server. Trip access was added to it earlier; this is the
rest of what that route needed.

The SSRF guard had a hole under it. `isAlwaysBlocked` knew `::1` and `0.0.0.0`
but not the IPv6 unspecified address: `::` starts with a colon, so the `0.`
check never saw it, and connecting to it lands on loopback. `http://[::]:9200/`
therefore passed the guard and came back with the target's title and og: tags
scraped out of the body — an exfiltrating read of anything listening locally,
from any account. `[::0]`, `[0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0]` and `[::ffff:0:0]` are the same
address in other spellings and behaved the same way. The two `::ffff:`-prefix
regexes had the same shape of gap: they matched the dotted spelling of loopback
and link-local, so `::ffff:7f00:1` walked past them. Both checks now decide on
the expanded hextets, which covers every spelling at once, and fe80::/10 is
read as ten bits rather than as the four characters 'fe80'. This is in
ssrfGuard, so every caller gets it, not just collab.

The scrape could be turned into a denial of service. Each og: regex had two
unbounded `[^>]*` runs separated by a literal, so a document with no `>` in it
made the engine rescan the remainder from every `<meta` it passed — quadratic,
and the byte cap admits half a megabyte. Measured on this build: 240KB of
'<meta ' took 58 seconds, and Node has one thread, so that is the entire
server, health check included, on one request. Bounding the runs at 512
characters makes it linear (540KB now takes 1.4s); no real attribute list comes
close to that.

The five-second timeout only covered the headers — `clearTimeout` ran before
the body was read — so a server that answered fast and then dripped one byte
every few seconds held the handler, the socket and the per-request undici agent
open indefinitely. The byte cap counts bytes and at that rate would never reach
one. `AbortSignal.timeout` covers both halves, the agent is closed in a
`finally`, and the three bail-outs that used to return without touching the
body now discard it, which is what cappedFetch's helper is there for.

The rest is smaller. Nothing metered the fetches, so an account with a trip of
its own could drive arbitrary outbound requests in a loop; there is a budget of
sixty new fetches a minute per user now, charged per outbound fetch rather than
per request. Previews are cached for ten minutes and simultaneous askers for
one URL share a single fetch, so the client's habit of requesting a preview per
rendered message — up to a hundred at once, with no debounce — costs one fetch
per new link rather than one per render. Refusals answer with one constant
reason instead of the guard's own: it distinguishes "could not resolve" from
"private address", which together map out the server's internal DNS for anyone
willing to guess hostnames. A body whose declared type is not markup is dropped
rather than combed for og: tags, and an og:image that is not an http(s) URL is
not passed to the client, which puts it straight into an <img src>.

Deliberately no `@RequirePermission` on the route: the client asks for a
preview while rendering a message or a note, never while composing one, so it
belongs with the GET siblings. Requiring collab_edit would blank every preview
for members of a trip whose owner narrowed that right while leaving them able
to read the chat, and it would not stop the abuse it looks like it addresses —
the permission check passes for a trip's owner at every level, and anyone can
create a trip.
