fix: refuse a detector address that is not https - #16
Conversation
The detector's ingress refuses plain HTTP and answers it with a redirect. The readiness probe follows redirects, so an http address passes readiness with a 200, the worker wakes the GPU, and only then does every screening fail: a followed redirect turns the guardrail's POST into a GET, which the endpoint rejects with 405. The failure is fail-closed but arrives after a cold start has already been paid for. Refusing the address at startup turns that into a clear error before anything runs. Localhost is exempt, having no ingress in front of it.

The note recording that a call by app name triggers the cold start credited it to http, contradicting the section stating that plain HTTP is answered with a redirect and that a redirect starts nothing. The command it was tested with, urllib.request.urlopen, follows redirects, so the request reached the detector over HTTPS and the cold start belonged to that. Both the note and the reproduction now name https, and the requirement is recorded as enforced rather than advised: Settings refuses a remote address that is not https.

Recognize the full loopback range.
The validator rejects valid loopback addresses such as 127.0.0.2. Use ipaddress.ip_address(host).is_loopback and retain localhost as the name exception.

Validate parsed URL components, not a string prefix.
Parse the URL once and require a hostname. Allow only http or https for loopback hosts, including all loopback IP addresses, and require https for remote hosts. The current check accepts https:///v1, rejects HTTPS://example.com/v1, accepts file://localhost/v1, and rejects http://127.0.0.2:8001/v1.

Pass the required test credential explicitly in both settings tests.
The Settings model requires service_api_key, so these tests should not depend on SCREENING_SERVICE_API_KEY from the environment.
