fix(security): only trust forwarded-ip headers from known proxies
The remote_ip plug previously trusted Cf-Connecting-Ip and X-Forwarded-For
on every request, so any client reaching a pod directly (cluster-internal,
kubectl port-forward, misconfigured Service) could spoof conn.remote_ip,
which flows into session storage and logs.

Now only honour those headers when the immediate TCP peer sits inside a
configured CIDR list. Default list covers loopback, RFC1918, CGNAT,
link-local, and IPv6 ULA — matches the k8s pod/service network.
Override via config :microwaveprop, :trusted_proxies, or per-environment
via the TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDRS env var in runtime.exs.

Also refresh the stale "nginx/dokku proxy" moduledoc — deployment has
been k8s + Cloudflare for a while.
