fix(link): 3 more codex [P2] findings — per-route caps, bool rules, proxy validation

Round 2 of review on the same branch:

- The fail-closed capacity guard was itself a DoS lever. MAX_RATE_KEYS was
  global, and the limiter runs before auth, so a flood of cheap /v1/repos
  keys could exhaust the table and 429 never-seen /v1/link clients until
  live windows expired. Budgets are now per route.
- Rule values accepted booleans: bool subclasses int, so isinstance let
  [5, true] through as a 1-SECOND window (5/hour -> ~5/sec) and false in the
  limit slot disabled the endpoint. Now `type(x) is int`.
- trusted_proxies was unvalidated: a bare string would be iterated character
  by character, malformed entries only surfaced as a per-request log line,
  and 0.0.0.0/0 or ::/0 restored "trust XFF from any peer" — the exact hole
  the setting closes. Now parsed and validated once at startup, wildcards
  refused, and _ip_in_any takes pre-parsed networks so nothing can degrade
  to a silent per-request skip.

Tests 99 -> 108: cross-route flood isolation, per-route reclamation windows,
every bool-in-rule position, bare-string and wildcard proxies, and a v4/v6
mismatch case.
