fix(og): broaden social-crawler coverage (Bluesky Cardyb, WeChat-scraper, fediverse, etc.)

From alexvaltchev's field UA list on #699. Adds CRAWLER-EXCLUSIVE tokens
to both the nginx UA regex and SOCIAL_CRAWLER_PATTERNS (kept in sync):
Cardyb (Bluesky's actual link-card fetcher), facebookcatalog, Signal,
Misskey, Pleroma, Synapse, Nextcloud, Rocket.Chat, kakaotalk-scrap,
Google-PageRenderer, OdklBot, ZoomBot.

Deliberately NOT added: UAs shared with real human in-app browsers
(WeChat MicroMessenger, LINE 'Line/', Zalo) and broad strings
('InAppBrowser', 'preview', 'unfurl', 'XING' → matches 'boxing'). Our OG
response is meta-only with no redirect, so matching those would serve a
human the bare stub. New negative test locks that exclusion in.

Verified: nginx -t passes; live harness confirms the new tokens rewrite
to /og while the in-app-browser UAs still get the SPA. Backend suite 15/15.
