fix(egress): restart dead daemons and cap inbound scan body size (#455)

Two complementary fixes for the egress gateway OOM:

1. gateway_init: auto-restart any daemon that dies unexpectedly. The
   supervisor already had restart_daemon()/request_restart() logic; this
   wires it into tick() so an OOM-killed mitmdump is respawned without
   operator intervention. Implements the "eventual" failure policy
   described in the original module docstring.

2. egress_addon: cap response body bytes passed to the DLP inbound scan
   at EGRESS_INBOUND_SCAN_LIMIT_BYTES (default 1 MiB). mitmproxy buffers
   the full response before the hook fires; capping at scan time limits
   the additional amplification from decoded text and regex strings. Bodies
   over the limit emit an egress_scan_truncated log event. Set to 0 to
   disable the cap.
