feat(proxy): implement upload correctness, local 413 short-circuiting, and prefix-spliced tunnel routing

This change resolves Milestone 1 (Task 14.1 / P0-01) by completely eliminating the unsafe, un-reassembled fragmentation loop for large mutating requests (>5 MiB) under Apps Script mode, while preserving stream integrity under Full mode via prefix-spliced tunnel routing.

Key Technical Changes:

1. Dynamic Prefix-Spliced Tunneling (src/tunnel_client.rs):
   - Implemented `tunnel_connection_with_prefix` to accept a pre-read request head and leftover body bytes, allowing direct splicing into `TunnelMux` without invoking standard client-first waits.

2. Elimination of Unsafe Body Fragmentation (src/domain_fronter.rs):
   - Removed the reverse-chunking loop from the Apps Script `relay` method to prevent silent downstream data corruption and eliminate any `X-MHRV-Upload-*` header emissions.

3. Local HTTP 413 Short-Circuiting (src/proxy_server.rs):
   - Defined `APPS_SCRIPT_UPLOAD_MAX_BYTES` ceiling of 5 MiB.
   - Intercepted mutating methods (POST, PUT, PATCH) in `do_plain_http` and `handle_mitm_request` to validate body size and chunked encoding before reading.
   - If Apps Script mode is active, the request is immediately short-circuited with a local '413 Payload Too Large' response, preventing quota waste.
   - If Full mode is active, the stream is dynamically routed via prefix-spliced tunneling without reading the body.

4. UI Diagnostics and Android JNI Serialization (src/domain_fronter.rs, src/bin/ui.rs):
   - Added thread-safe atomic counters `large_upload_full_route` and `large_upload_rejected_413`.
   - Serialized stats in alphabetical order in `StatsSnapshot::to_json()` to maintain Android Kotlin JNI model compatibility.
   - Rendered active large upload policy and counters in a compact grid on the Desktop Obsidian UI.

Verification:
- Added `test_large_upload_policy_no_unsafe_headers` in `src/domain_fronter.rs` for header safety and JSON serialization.
- Added `test_handle_mitm_request_rejects_large_mutating_requests` in `src/proxy_server.rs` employing a duplex stream to test local HTTP 413 rejection.
- All 242 unit and integration tests successfully verified green.
