With the new hardening on blocking internal hosts with outbound HTTP
calls, we should build on top of this to ensure that the UX is better
when a preset is blocked.
We can do this by making sure that when `HOST_BLOCKED`, we report a more
targeted config validation error.
We can also make sure to pass around our `internalGrants`, similar to
how we currently allow an admin's `headers` are handled.

To harden Renovate from being able to access internal hosts, we can add
a level of enforcement on all outgoing requests.
We can split this into two types of traffic:
- where the response becomes configuration (i.e. `extends`)
- where the response does not become configuration (i.e.
`customDatasources`)
To harden this, we enforce on every outbound HTTP request:
- check the resolved URL before anything, including cache lookups, can
proceed
- catching IP-literal hosts in every spelling the WHATWG URL parser normalizes
- blocking known Cloud metadata IPs, too
- a `dnsLookup` wrapper validates every address a hostname resolves to,
on every new connection, which also defeats DNS rebinding
- a `beforeRedirect` hook re-runs the URL check on each redirect
target, with the new host getting its own grant lookup rather than
inheriting the original host's verdict
We default this enforcement to `warn`, to not break existing deployments
and instead give them visibility into required configuration before a
future major version (major+1) enables `block` by default.
We'll also remove allow in a future major version (major+2), to give
time for admins to migrate over.
When a request is blocked, this degrades like an unreachable registry,
so a Renovate run isn't aborted by a blocked request.
As part of this, we can also provide a worked example of the different
cases that do/do not need allowing via `hostRules`.
Requests through an admin-configured proxy resolve DNS at the proxy, so
`dnsLookup` never runs for them, so we can resolve the hostname locally
and validate every address before the request instead.
This doesn't catch everything, especially as the proxy may resolve the
name to a different result, and if we can't resolve the name - possible
in locked-down corporate environments - we fail open.
Child processes aren't currently able to route traffic through
Renovate's HTTP layer, so are unrestricted.

* test(presets): validate filename construction
Ahead of future changes to add JSONC support, we should cover explicitly
how the filename is constructed.
* feat(presets): support fetching `.jsonc` files
Similar to 6fb540d494, as we now support a
`.jsonc` file for configuration, we should make sure that we can also
use it for a preset.
We can also add additional tests across a few presets to make sure that
we have sufficient coverage.
