Stop scanning the request body for CRLF injection

A 403 "egress DLP: URL-encoded CRLF (%0d%0a)" was firing on legitimate
requests (e.g. the Claude Code login flow) and bypassing the on-match
policy entirely, because CRLF blocks carry no matched value and were
routed straight to a hard 403.

Root cause: CRLF injection is only an attack in the request line and
headers. An HTTP body is delimited by Content-Length, so CRLF bytes in
the body cannot split the request — but the scan flattened the body into
the same blob it checked, so form-encoded / multi-line body content
(which legitimately contains %0d%0a) tripped it.

Fix:
- scan_outbound takes a crlf_text param; the addon scans CRLF only over
  the body-excluded request line + headers. crlf_text=None keeps the
  old full-blob behavior for host-side callers/tests; the websocket path
  passes "" since a data frame is not a request line.
- The redact policy now also scrubs CRLF (new strip_crlf helper) from the
  path and headers, so redact is a complete escape hatch and structural
  CRLF in the URL/headers can be forwarded when a route opts into it.

Tests: strip_crlf unit tests; scan_outbound crlf_text body-exclusion and
backward-compat tests.
