fix(web): refuse cross-site state-changing requests (Origin/Referer check) (#674)
The web interface refuses state-changing requests (POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE) whose Origin (or, without one, Referer) is not the host they were sent to, or is null: 403 CROSS_SITE_REQUEST (web_interface/origin_guard.py). Any website a LAN user visited could otherwise make their browser POST a plain form to the Pi. /api/v3/system/action also refuses form-encoded and text/plain bodies (415) unless sent by HTMX. Clients that send no Origin or Referer (curl, requests, Home Assistant, the MQTT bridge) are unaffected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- A web page you open elsewhere could otherwise make your browser send

commands to the Pi (reboot, update, config changes). The interface refuses

any change request whose `Origin`/`Referer` header names a different site
|
||||
(403 `CROSS_SITE_REQUEST`), so use the interface from its own address.
|
||||
- Scripts, curl, Home Assistant and the MQTT bridge send no such header and
|
||||
keep working. Behind a reverse proxy, forward the original `Host` header
|
||||
with its port (nginx: `proxy_set_header Host $http_host;` -- `$host`
|
||||
drops the port).
|
||||
|
||||
**Best Practices:**
|
||||
1. Run on a private network (not exposed to internet)
|
||||
2. Use a firewall to restrict access if needed
