houseme 2ebe8e561b fix(replication): allow loopback replication targets under an explicit test opt-in (#4725)
* fix(replication): allow loopback replication targets under an explicit test opt-in

Commit 5c7c757a3 (#4712) activated the previously-dormant replication e2e
suite (they had never run anywhere). All 9 fast tests then failed on main
because the SSRF egress guard rejects the 127.0.0.1 targets the e2e harness
configures: `target endpoint is not allowed: outbound URL host '127.0.0.1'
is not allowed: loopback address`. The whole harness runs on loopback, so
every replication test hit this before reaching its actual assertion.

Loopback is a genuine SSRF vector and must stay rejected in production, so
this does not relax the guard. Instead `validate_replication_target_endpoint`
gains an off-by-default opt-in (`RUSTFS_REPLICATION_ALLOW_LOOPBACK_TARGET`)
that re-enables loopback targets (127.0.0.1 / ::1 / localhost) for single-host
multi-instance dev and the e2e harness. Private addresses stay unconditionally
allowed as before; the opt-in does not widen into link-local or the cloud
metadata endpoint. The e2e harness sets the env for every server it spawns
(single-node and cluster paths), overridable via extra_env.

Verified end-to-end: all 9 previously-failing replication_extension_test
smoke tests pass against a locally built binary. New unit tests in
bucket_target_sys pin the matrix — public/private always allowed, loopback
gated on the opt-in in both IP and hostname forms, and metadata/link-local
still rejected even with the opt-in on.

* test(replication): rename optin -> opt_in to satisfy typos check

Pure rename of three unit-test function names; no behaviour change.
