fix(backend): validate the S3 endpoint host before the restore download (stable) (#1391)

* fix(backend): validate the S3 endpoint host before the restore download

downloadFileFromS3() built an S3StorageAdapter and called .download()
directly, skipping the isHostAllowed() private-IP/DNS-rebinding guard
that testConnection() applies elsewhere — an admin with backup.restore
could point the configured S3 endpoint at an internal/metadata address
for unauthenticated egress via the server.

Backport of 89c6a673bf from main
(GHSA-vm2x-c628-3cx5) to stable; cherry-picked cleanly, no adaptation
needed.

* fix(backend): pin the restore S3 download to its validated DNS resolution

isHostAllowed() was check-then-connect: the AWS SDK re-resolves the
endpoint hostname independently when it actually connects, so a DNS
rebinding condition between the preflight check and the real
connection could still reach a private/internal address.

Stable didn't yet have the pinnedRequestOptions() primitive main's
webhookDeliveryWorker.js uses for this, so it's ported here as
utils/pinnedRequest.js, plus an additive
validateExternalUrlWithAddresses() in networkValidation.js that
returns the resolved address set (existing exports/behavior
untouched). Both get wired into the S3Client's requestHandler for the
restore download path only.

/**
* DNS-rebinding follow-up to the blind-SSRF fix in restoreServiceS3Ssrf.test.js
* (GHSA-vm2x-c628-3cx5).
*
* isHostAllowed()/validateExternalUrlWithAddresses() are check-then-connect
* on their own: they resolve the S3 endpoint hostname once to vet it, then
* hand a bare hostname to the AWS SDK, which resolves it AGAIN when it
* actually connects. An attacker who controls DNS for the endpoint hostname
* (or an infra DNS-rebinding condition) can answer the first lookup with a
* public IP and the second with a private/metadata one.
*
* downloadFileFromS3() now builds pinned http/https agents (pinnedRequest.js
* — the same primitive webhookDeliveryWorker.js on main uses for outbound
* HTTP; ported here since stable didn't have it yet) from the validated
* address and passes them into S3StorageAdapter, which threads them into
* the S3Client's NodeHttpHandler requestHandler. This asserts that wiring:
* the agents S3StorageAdapter receives resolve the endpoint hostname to
* ONLY the address vetted during validation, and never fall through to a
* second, real DNS lookup that a rebinding attacker could answer
* differently.
