Refuse an IPv6 address that holds an internal IPv4 address (closes #297)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s

The check that keeps pixa from fetching internal addresses read an
IPv6 address as IPv4 only in the mapped form (::ffff:a.b.c.d), so the
IPv4-compatible form, such as ::127.0.0.1, was judged as IPv6 and
passed. An address in ::/96 is now judged by the IPv4 address it holds,
so one holding a private, loopback or link-local address is refused on
both image routes before any upstream request. The NAT64 range
64:ff9b::/96 stays blocked whole, as it was on next.

# Completed Steps
- 2026-10-16 P1 security bug: the check that keeps pixa from fetching internal
addresses judges an IPv6 address in the IPv4-compatible form (`::/96`), such
as `::127.0.0.1` or `::10.0.0.1`, by the IPv4 address in its last four bytes
(closes #297). It read only the mapped form (`::ffff:a.b.c.d`) as IPv4, so a
source host such as `[::127.0.0.1]` was checked as a public IPv6 address and
fetched, which on a network that routes it reaches the internal IPv4 host; it
is now refused with 403. The NAT64 form (`64:ff9b::/96`) was already refused
as a whole, as one of the built-in blocked ranges, and still is.
- 2026-10-16 a source host that is an IPv6 address in brackets with no port,
such as `[2001:db8::a]`, is fetched like one with a port, through `/v1/image/`
and through an encrypted URL (closes #295). The fetcher's check of the source
