Tobias GesellchenandClaude Opus 4.7 fbeae8bb11 fix(security): make upstream TLS verification opt-in via settings flag
CodeQL alerts #70 and #71 (go/disabled-certificate-check) flagged the
hard-coded `InsecureSkipVerify: true` in handlers_proxy.go (the
/proxy/{url} reverse proxy) and mirror_middleware.go (the parity-check
mirror). Both target *.bose.com whose certificate chain is becoming
unreliable post end-of-service, but unconditionally disabling
verification is still wrong: a deployment that doesn't actually need
the bypass loses TLS hygiene for free.

Add an `AllowInsecureUpstreamTLS bool` field to datastore.Settings,
default false. Read it in both call sites — they aren't on a hot path
— and pass the value as InsecureSkipVerify. CodeQL accepts the
configurable boolean as a non-flag (vs. the previously hard-coded
`true`), and the runtime behaviour now defaults to verifying
certificates with an explicit opt-in for the broken-chain scenario.

Behaviour change: TLS upstream traffic is verified by default. Anyone
relying on the previous always-skip behaviour can re-enable it by
setting `"allow_insecure_upstream_tls": true` in settings.json.
