Lower-case the image URL's host and require a signature for a port (closes #246)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

With `cdn.example.com` allowlisted, other letter cases and a host with a port also passed the allowlist; each spelling was fetched and cached on its own with its own per-host connection limit, and a port let an unsigned URL reach any port of the host.

The image URL parser now lower-cases the host and refuses one holding `@` with 400. A host followed by `:`, with or without a port (read as Go's URL parser reads it, unbracketed IPv6 included), never counts as allowlisted, so it needs a signature. The host is signed lower-cased, as the URL writes it, so a signature made over an upper-case spelling is refused with 401.

pixa lower-cases the host of a `/v1/image/` URL before anything else uses it, so
`CDN.Example.com` is matched, fetched, cached and counted against
`upstream_connections_per_host` as `cdn.example.com`. Such a URL whose host has
a port, as in `cdn.example.com:8443`, or a `:` with no port, needs a signature
even when the host is allowlisted. A host holding `@` is refused with 400.
