fix(security): enforce network policy in RDP, POP3 JS libs; add API auth

RDP, POP3: missing IsHostAllowed pre-check before Fastdialer.Dial allowed
JS templates to bypass hostname-based --exclude-hosts rules.

Internal HTTP API: /api/concurrency had no authentication; any process
reachable at the endpoint could read or modify concurrency settings.
Add a random 64-hex-char Bearer token generated at startup.

Fixes (CWE-918 / CWE-306):
- pkg/js/libs/rdp/rdp.go  (isRDP, checkRDPAuth, checkRDPEncryption)
- pkg/js/libs/pop3/pop3.go (isPoP3)
- internal/httpapi/apiendpoint.go (all handlers)

Tests:
- pkg/js/libs/rdp/rdp_policy_test.go  (3 tests - in prior commit)
- pkg/js/libs/pop3/pop3_policy_test.go (1 test - in prior commit)
- internal/httpapi/apiendpoint_test.go (7 tests - in prior commit)

All 11 policy/auth tests pass.
