DC-012: Add Kubernetes-style /healthz + /readyz probe aliases
CI / Test & Lint (push) Has been cancelled
CI / Security audit (push) Has been cancelled

Fresh users copy-pasting healthcheck blocks from k8s/Docker docs need
the standard short aliases. Without /healthz and /readyz they get
connection refused. This commit:

1. Adds /healthz + /readyz as root-level aliases for /health/live +
   /health/ready in src/app.js. Handler bodies DRYed into named
   functions (livenessHandler, readinessHandler) so a probe semantics
   change updates all five paths at once.

2. Removes the dead /api/v1/health*, /api/v1/health/live, /api/v1/health/ready
   registrations from PUBLIC_ROUTES and CSRF exclusion list — those
   routes were never actually mounted on the apiRouter (only root
   paths existed). Anyone probing /api/v1/health now gets a clean 404
   instead of being routed through to a duplicate root handler.

3. Adds bypass for the 5 probe paths in three places where it matters:
   - PUBLIC_ROUTES (no auth)
   - csrf-protection.js excludedPaths (no CSRF check)
   - middleware.js request-logging exclusion (k8s polling every 10s
     doesn't flood the audit log)
   - middleware.js Tailscale auth bypass (probes don't carry Tailscale
     identity headers)

4. Adds __tests__/health-probe-aliases.test.js (19 tests):
   - Alias equivalence (/healthz == /health/live, /readyz == /health/ready)
   - Back-compat (/health == /health/live)
   - Path consolidation (all 3 /api/v1/health* return 404)
   - Source-of-truth PUBLIC_ROUTES allowlist sync check
   - Source-of-truth src/app.js mount list sync check (catches drift
     between handler mount and middleware allowlist)

5. Documents probes in README (copy-paste docker-compose.yml +
   Kubernetes blocks) and user-guide (Health Probes section + System
   API table updated).

Post-fix: 941/941 tests pass (+19 new). Zero new ESLint warnings
introduced. The pre-existing warnings/errors in src/app.js line 906
('os' is not defined) and the empty blocks in logging.test.js are
not regressions from this commit.
