Serve Prometheus metrics at /metrics behind basic auth (closes #94)

With METRICS_USERNAME and METRICS_PASSWORD both set, the backend records request metrics through go-http-metrics in a registry of its own, with Go's runtime and process metrics, and serves them at GET /metrics behind basic auth; nginx passes /metrics to it. With neither set there is no such route; one alone, or a METRICS_USERNAME containing ":", stops the start with an error naming the setting. Only requests that reach the health check or POST /api/v1/reports are recorded, as the labels are path and method, which clients could otherwise make up without end; POST /api/v1/reports is registered by its full path for that. Deviation: go get and go mod tidy ran directly; no entrypoint added a Go dependency yet (issue #45). Model: opus-5-5
