lb: trust the host Caddy's X-Forwarded-Proto
Every OAuth redirect URI the backend builds is currently http://, whatever
scheme the user actually arrived with.

There are two Caddy hops in front of the app: the host Caddy terminates TLS
and sets X-Forwarded-Proto: https, then proxies to 127.0.0.1:8137 over plain
HTTP; the stack LB is the second hop. Caddy preserves an incoming
X-Forwarded-* header only when the immediate peer is a trusted proxy, and
trusted_proxies was never set here -- so the LB overwrote the header with the
scheme of the connection it had just received, which is http.

accounts/oauth.py:_redirect_uri builds the callback from x-forwarded-proto,
and that URI must match what is registered in the provider's console.

Measured on vps2, same request to each hop:

  direct to web, XFP=https      -> https://thermograph.org/api/v2/...
  through the LB, XFP=https     -> http://thermograph.org/api/v2/...
  through the PATCHED LB        -> https://thermograph.org/api/v2/...
  through the PATCHED LB, no XFP-> http://thermograph.org/api/v2/...

The last line is the point of using trusted_proxies rather than hardcoding
`header_up X-Forwarded-Proto https`: the LB still reports the truth when
nothing in front of it claims otherwise.

private_ranges covers 127.0.0.1/8 and the Docker bridge ranges, which is where
the host Caddy reaches this container from. The LB binds loopback only,
precisely so it cannot be reached un-fronted, so the only party that can set
these headers is the host Caddy -- trusting the local peer widens nothing.

Applied to beta's LB too. Beta is where a provider change gets tested before
it reaches thermograph.org, so it needs the same behaviour or the test is not
a test.

# Beta's loopback LB bridge config — the beta counterpart of ./Caddyfile.
#
# Two differences from prod's, both load-bearing:
#
# 1. It proxies to beta-web / beta-frontend, not web / frontend. Beta's Swarm
# services carry that prefix so their short DNS names cannot collide with
# prod's on the shared overlay (see thermograph-beta-stack.yml).
# 2. deploy-stack.sh publishes this container on 127.0.0.1:8237 and :8180,
# not 8137/8180 — prod's LB already owns 8137/8080 on this host. The
# LISTEN ports below stay 8137/8080: those are inside the container, and
# the host mapping is what differs. Keeping the container ports identical
# to prod's means the two configs differ only in the upstream names.
#
# The host Caddy on vps2 terminates TLS for beta.thermograph.org and proxies to
# 127.0.0.1:8237 / :8180 — see deploy/Caddyfile.

# Same reason as ./Caddyfile — see the long note there. Without it this second
# Caddy hop overwrites the host Caddy's X-Forwarded-Proto: https with http,
# and every OAuth redirect URI the backend builds comes out non-HTTPS, which
# Google rejects outright for a web client.
#
# Beta needs it as much as prod does, and arguably first: beta is where an
# OAuth provider change gets tested before it reaches thermograph.org.
