fix: enable DNS rebinding protection by default (#659)

Add `DnsRebindingProtection` Ktor route-scoped plugin and enable it by
default across all http transports

## Motivation and Context
DNS rebinding protection was disabled by default
(`enableDnsRebindingProtection = false`), and sse endpoints
(`Route.mcp()`) had zero protection. Same vulnerability as typescript
sdk
[GHSA-w48q-cv73-mx4w](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/security/advisories/GHSA-w48q-cv73-mx4w)

## How Has This Been Tested?
all tests pass

## Breaking Changes
- `Route.mcp()`, `Application.mcp()` signatures changed (new
`enableDnsRebindingProtection`, `allowedHosts`, `allowedOrigins`
params), binary incompatible on JVM
- `enableDnsRebindingProtection` default changed from `false` to `true`
on `mcpStreamableHttp`/`mcpStatelessStreamableHttp`
- Default allowed hosts: `localhost`, `127.0.0.1`, `[::1]` — opt out
with `enableDnsRebindingProtection = false`
- Host validation is now port-agnostic (matches ts sdk)
- Origin validation now allows missing `Origin` header (non-browser
clients)
- `Configuration.enableDnsRebindingProtection`, `.allowedHosts`,
`.allowedOrigins` deprecated in favor of the plugin
