Expose delivery metrics on /metrics (closes #209)

/metrics carried only the inbound HTTP surface, so a destination
failing for an hour, a growing retry backlog and a stuck-open circuit
breaker were all invisible: the receive side stays healthy in each
case because it is.

New internal/metrics registers, on the existing default registry that
the go-http-metrics recorder and the promhttp handler already share:

- webhooker_events_received_total
- webhooker_delivery_attempts_total
- webhooker_deliveries_succeeded_total
- webhooker_deliveries_failed_total
- webhooker_delivery_retries_total
- webhooker_delivery_duration_seconds
- webhooker_deliveries_pending / _retrying
- webhooker_circuit_breakers_open

The route mounting is untouched.

Every delivery metric carries one label, target_type, whose domain is
the four target-type constants; anything outside it collapses to
"unknown" so no series can be minted from a UUID. Target ids, event
ids and entrypoint ids are deliberately not labels.

Instrumentation sits at the points every target type already passes
through: processDelivery for the attempt counter and the duration
histogram, updateDeliveryStatus for the outcome counters. The
queue-depth gauges are counted out of the per-webhook databases by a
30s sampler rather than tracked as deltas, which would need seeding at
startup and would drift on any transition that failed to persist. The
open-breaker gauge is recounted from the target's breaker registry on
every state change.
