http_proxy: Add hostname allowlist policy types (#59217)

First of a stack adding hostname-allowlisted network access to agent
terminal sandboxing. Adds a new `http_proxy` crate containing only the
allowlist policy types.

`HostPattern` parses exact hostnames or leading-`*.` subdomain
wildcards, normalizes IDNs to punycode, and rejects IP literals and
localhost-family names. `Allowlist` holds a set of patterns (or an
allow-any escape hatch), and `covers` implements host-pattern
subsumption (`*.github.com` covers `api.github.com`) used later to
decide when an already-granted permission covers a new request — the
network analogue of write-path subtree containment.

Pure, self-contained logic with no callers yet. The upstream-proxy
config and the proxy server that enforces these policies land in the
next two PRs.

//! Hostname allowlist for the proxy's policy decisions.
//!
//! Patterns are either exact hostnames (`github.com`) or leading-`*.`
//! subdomain wildcards (`*.example.com` matches `a.example.com` and
//! `a.b.example.com`, but **not** `example.com` itself — that's the
//! convention for subdomain wildcards). No middle wildcards, no regex,
//! no port matching.
//!
//! Hostnames are matched case-insensitively (DNS hostnames are case-insensitive
//! per RFC 1035 §2.3.3) with any trailing dot stripped (so `example.com.` and
//! `example.com` are equivalent). Internationalized domain names supplied as
//! UTF-8 are auto-converted to A-label (Punycode) form so callers don't have
//! to think about it.
//!
//! IP literals (IPv4 / IPv6 / `localhost`) are rejected when constructing a
//! `HostPattern` — hostname-based allowlisting cannot meaningfully apply to
//! them, and accepting them would be a policy footgun.
