Validate the configuration and harden what a deployment creates

Two ways an instance used to run in a state it should have refused.

The configuration was never checked. `dev_login` was guarded only by a loopback
listener, so a proxy that rewrites Host to 127.0.0.1 inherited a credential-free
session; open registration could be enabled on a plain-HTTP origin WebAuthn would
never accept; a public_url could carry a path or credentials; a size could be
negative. Config.Validate now runs before anything is opened and reports every
problem at once, and dev_login requires an explicit dev_only opt-in next to a
loopback listener with no public address. The per-request check no longer trusts
Host at all: it must name the configured listener, and a request carrying a
forwarding header gets no session.

The files were never checked either. directories were created 0755 and the audit
log 0644, and a file keeps the mode it was created with, so an upgraded instance
stayed exposed. internal/secure creates secrets at 0600 in directories at 0700,
tightens what an existing install left, keeps group access for a shared backup
group, and refuses to start when a mode cannot be changed. Every audit writer and
the account backup go through it. The service unit drops all capabilities,
sets UMask=0027, disables core dumps, hides other processes and devices, and
restricts address families; docs/operations.md now states the production
baseline.
