server: set all four http.Server socket timeouts (#118)

The http.Server was built with only ReadHeaderTimeout set; the other three
timeouts were zero, which in net/http means no limit, so a peer could hold a
connection open past the header phase, responses had no write deadline, and
keep-alive connections were never reaped. ReadTimeout 15s, WriteTimeout 75s,
and IdleTimeout 120s now join ReadHeaderTimeout 10s as named constants.
WriteTimeout must stay above the 60s chimw.Timeout handler budget, because
net/http arms the write deadline once request headers are read; a test fails
the build if either number moves alone. The server literal moved into
newHTTPServer so the configuration can be asserted without binding a socket
(closes #99)

Model: opus-5

+#### Server timeouts
+
+The HTTP server sets all four socket-level timeouts. These are compile-time
+constants in `internal/server/server.go`, not configurable via environment
+variables.
+
+| Timeout             | Value | Purpose                                       |
+|---------------------|-------|-----------------------------------------------|
+| `ReadHeaderTimeout` | 10s   | Bounds the request header read (slowloris)    |
+| `ReadTimeout`       | 15s   | Bounds the whole request read, headers + body |
+| `WriteTimeout`      | 75s   | Bounds handler execution plus response flush  |
+| `IdleTimeout`       | 120s  | Reaps idle keep-alive connections             |
+
+These are distinct from the 60s per-request handler budget applied by
+`chimw.Timeout` in `internal/server/routes.go`, which cancels the request
+context but does not touch the socket. `WriteTimeout` is deliberately
+larger than that budget: the write deadline is armed once request headers
+are read, so a smaller value would sever the connection before a handler
+using its full budget could respond. `IdleTimeout` exceeds common
+Prometheus scrape intervals so the scraper reuses its connection.

 ### Constraints
 
@@ -28,64 +24,14 @@ assertions and sensible timeouts, not from mocks.
 - Flaky failures from transient network issues are acceptable and
   should be investigated as potential resolver bugs, not papered over
   with mocks or skip flags
-- Watcher change-detection tests seed a synthetic *previous state*
-  and compare it against fresh live lookups; the DNS side is never
-  faked
-- Live query concurrency is bounded per package (`liveGate` in
-  `internal/resolver`, `liveWatcherGate` in `internal/watcher`) so
-  parallel tests do not burst at the root servers
-- Those gates are package-scoped and therefore per test binary, so
-  `script/test` also passes `-p 1`: with both live-DNS packages
-  running at once the gates sum instead of holding, and the resolver's
-  per-attempt deadlines start expiring
-
-### Transport failures: loopback nameservers, not mocks
-
-The resolver classifies a nameserver that stays silent as
-`StatusTimeout` and one that answers SERVFAIL as `StatusError`. The
-public network cannot be made to produce either on demand — a
-black-holed address is only black-holed on some networks, and build
-environments that transparently intercept UDP/53 answer it locally —
-so a test built on a chosen remote address asserts on the network it
-happens to run on rather than on the resolver.
-
-`internal/resolver/transport_test.go` binds a real nameserver on
-`127.0.0.1` instead and points the query at it.
-`nameserverAddr` dials an address that already carries a port as
-written, so no production behaviour is bypassed to arrange this.
-
-**This is permitted, and it is not a mock.** The rule above bans
-substituting `DNSClient` or any other DNS abstraction, which lets the
-code under test skip DNS and hands it a manufactured verdict. A
-loopback nameserver does the opposite: the resolver dials a real
-socket, writes a real query with the real `miekg/dns` client, and
-applies its real deadline and its real classification logic to what
-comes back. Choosing which nameserver a live query is sent to is not
-faking DNS — the resolver is aimed at a nameserver of the caller's
-choosing in production too.
-
-The distinction to hold on to: **substituting the client is banned;
-choosing the server is not.** A test that reaches for a fake
-`DNSClient` to force a classification is still forbidden, no matter
-how awkward the alternative looks.
-
-Such a test must stay cheap. The resolver asks for eight record
-types and retries each once, so a nameserver silent on every type
-costs sixteen query timeouts. `TestQueryNameserverIP_Timeout` is
-silent on `A` alone and answers the rest, which is all the resolver
-needs to classify the response and keeps the test to two.

-  the DNS-mock removal had dropped, and tightened two over-tolerant
-  watcher assertions. `internal/resolver/transport_test.go` covers
-  `StatusTimeout`, `StatusError` and the connection-refused path by
-  binding real nameservers on loopback rather than by mocking
-  `DNSClient` or by aiming a query at a remote address and hoping the
-  network black-holes it; `queryDNS` now honours a port already
-  present in a nameserver address, which is what lets a query be
-  aimed at one. The watcher's `assertStatePopulated` and
-  `TestDomainPortAndTLSChecks` now assert that port and certificate
-  state, and the arguments the port and TLS checkers were called
-  with, match the addresses live DNS returned — previously they
-  asserted only that those sets were non-empty, which would not have
