Fix #243/#252/#253: stop leaking settings posture to anonymous callers (#283)

Three settings endpoints were disclosing operational posture or
operator-curated configuration to any network caller. This change
either tightens the redacted-public view (#243) or adds a
local-operator auth gate (#252, #253) per the audit recommendations.

Zero hostility to legitimate users: in all three cases, the Tauri
shell (loopback), the Docker bridge frontend container (#250 + #278),
and any caller with an admin key continue to see the full data. Only
anonymous LAN/internet callers see the reduced surface.

== #243 (Wormhole transport posture, anonymous-mode, profile, node mode)

Tightened the public-redaction allowlists in BOTH the main.py and
routers/wormhole.py copies:
- _WORMHOLE_PUBLIC_SETTINGS_FIELDS: {enabled, transport, anonymous_mode}
                                 -> {enabled}
- _WORMHOLE_PUBLIC_PROFILE_FIELDS: {profile, wormhole_enabled}
                                 -> {wormhole_enabled}

`GET /api/settings/node` (both the routers/admin.py and main.py copies)
now returns an empty stub for unauthenticated callers and the full
node_mode + node_enabled fields only for authenticated callers via
_scoped_view_authenticated(request, "node").

== #252 (news feed inventory disclosure)

`GET /api/settings/news-feeds` now requires Depends(require_local_operator)
in both the canonical routers/admin.py handler and the duplicate main.py
handler. Anonymous callers can no longer enumerate operator-curated
feed names and URLs.

== #253 (Time Machine archival-capture posture disclosure)

`GET /api/settings/timemachine` now requires Depends(require_local_operator).
Anonymous callers can no longer fingerprint whether a deployment is
retaining replayable historical surveillance data.

Tests: backend/tests/test_round5_settings_info_disclosure.py (10 tests)
- Wormhole settings: anonymous sees only `enabled`; authenticated sees full state.
- Privacy profile: anonymous sees only `wormhole_enabled`; authenticated sees `profile` + `transport` + `anonymous_mode`.
- Node settings: anonymous sees `{}`; authenticated sees node_mode + node_enabled + persisted state.
- news-feeds: anonymous gets 403 (and get_feeds() is NOT called); authenticated gets full inventory.
- timemachine: anonymous gets 403; authenticated sees enabled + storage_warning.

Local: 73/73 security suite (round 5 + earlier rounds) green.
