Vasanth Tandbaoyu0 1e4db7c664 fix: let the configured forward proxy through the loopback guard (#1025)
* fix(providerhealth,tools): let the configured forward proxy through the loopback guard

With HTTPS_PROXY pointing at a local forward proxy, the transport dials the
proxy first and tunnels the request through it. The SSRF-guarded dialer in
providerhealth refused that dial as a loopback address, so
`zero doctor --connectivity` failed with "proxyconnect tcp: provider
connectivity URL is unsafe: loopback hosts are blocked" for a public
provider that had already been validated, and web_fetch had no proxy
support at all (#569).

Each dialer is now handed its transport's own Proxy function and lets a dial
through unpinned only when the address is exactly the proxy endpoint that
function names for the request scheme: same host, same port, with a missing
proxy port taken as the scheme default. A sibling loopback port is still
refused. The shared check lives in internal/proxydial since providerhealth
and tools otherwise share nothing.

web_fetch honours http.ProxyFromEnvironment again. The guarded fetch had set
Proxy to nil as part of its SSRF hardening; the target is still validated
before the request, and what a forward proxy removes is only the dial-time
rebind pin, which is inherent to using any forward proxy. The pre-permission
URL validation stays in place.

Started from #594 by baoyu0. This version keeps the pre-permission check,
matches the proxy port exactly instead of any port when the proxy URL has
none, and injects the transport's Proxy function instead of reading the
environment a second time.

Closes #569

* fix(proxydial): have the dialer ask its transport for the proxy at dial time

Copying transport.Proxy into the dialer at construction left the wiring
between the two unpinned: a dialer handed nil would pass every unit test
while a proxied request still died as loopback. The dialer now consults
the transport it is installed on, and each package drives a real request
through a loopback listener acting as the proxy and checks that the
CONNECT arrives. The proxy is substituted on the transport rather than
through HTTPS_PROXY, since http.ProxyFromEnvironment reads the
environment once per process and an env-based test would depend on
test order.

* fix(proxydial): bind the proxy exemption to the route the transport chose

Asking the Proxy function a question of our own invention answered for a
request the transport never made. With NO_PROXY excluding a host, the real
request to that host goes direct while a synthetic probe still comes back
proxied, so a direct dial whose address happened to equal the configured
proxy endpoint skipped the guard and reached whatever the name resolved to
at connect time. A probe on the previous head dials rebind.example:80 with
zero safety lookups; the guard now runs and refuses its private answer.
Host-dependent proxy callbacks make the mismatch general, and no spelling
of the probe host closes it, because the two calls are about different
requests.

The decision is now recorded where it is made. proxydial.Transport wraps
the transport, asks its Proxy function about the actual request, and puts
the answer in that request's context; the transport derives the dial
context from the request context, so the dialer reads back the route this
very connection is being opened for. Per-request, so concurrent requests
cannot overwrite each other, and the context key is unexported so nothing
outside the package can plant one.

Address matching is gone with it. A transport opens one connection dial,
and when a proxy is selected that dial goes to the proxy, so the recorded
route already identifies the dial. Comparing the address on top could only
disagree with the transport, which is what a Unicode proxy hostname did:
Go dials xn--bro-hoa.example while the URL still spells it as configured,
and the proxy was refused as an ordinary private address. Both spellings
are now one endpoint with no comparison to get wrong.

Documents where destination enforcement ends: with a proxy configured, the
target hostname is sent to the proxy and the proxy resolves it, so the
local pre-request checks no longer bind the address that is reached. A
forward proxy already sees and can rewrite every request through it, so
that trust comes with configuring one; the alternative is refusing to use
proxies at all, which is the outage in #569.
