url fixes for access issues (#4013)

# Description of Changes


This pull request introduces a new SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery)
protection mechanism for URL handling in the application. Key changes
include adding a dedicated `SsrfProtectionService`, integrating
SSRF-safe policies into HTML sanitization, and extending application
settings to support configurable URL security options.

### SSRF Protection Implementation:
* **`SsrfProtectionService`**: Added a new service to handle SSRF
protection with configurable levels (`OFF`, `MEDIUM`, `MAX`) and checks
for private networks, localhost, link-local addresses, and cloud
metadata endpoints
(`app/common/src/main/java/stirling/software/common/service/SsrfProtectionService.java`).

### Application Configuration Enhancements:
* **`ApplicationProperties`**: Introduced a new `Html` configuration
class with nested `UrlSecurity` settings, allowing fine-grained control
over URL security, including allowed/blocked domains and internal TLDs
(`app/common/src/main/java/stirling/software/common/model/ApplicationProperties.java`).

* **`settings.yml.template`**: Updated the configuration template to
include the new `html.urlSecurity` settings, enabling users to customize
SSRF protection behavior
(`app/core/src/main/resources/settings.yml.template`).

### HTML Sanitization Updates:
* **`CustomHtmlSanitizer`**: Integrated SSRF-safe URL validation into
the HTML sanitizer by using the `SsrfProtectionService`. Added a custom
policy for validating `img` tags' `src` attributes
(`app/common/src/main/java/stirling/software/common/util/CustomHtmlSanitizer.java`).
