fix: Support allowlisted private API inbox webhooks (#14548)

Self-hosted installations can now opt SafeFetch into private-network
access after SSRF hardening. The default remains unchanged: private IP
destinations are blocked unless the instance owner explicitly enables
private-network requests with `SAFE_FETCH_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORK=true`.

## How to use

For self-hosted installations that need API inbox webhooks, or other
SafeFetch-backed requests, to call trusted private services, enable
private-network access with a single environment variable:

```bash
SAFE_FETCH_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORK=true
```

This is disabled by default. Enable it only when the instance owner
controls the deployment network and trusts the configured URLs.
