[relay] only trust X-Real-Ip headers from configured trusted proxies (#6833)

The WS listener unconditionally trusted X-Real-Ip/X-Real-Port headers,
letting any client forge the source address the relay logs. Gate header
trust behind a trusted-proxy allowlist; ignore the headers unless the
immediate peer matches a configured prefix. Defaults to never trusting
the headers when the allowlist is empty.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Added `--trusted-proxies` to configure a comma-separated allowlist of
trusted upstream proxy IPs/CIDRs.
* **Behavior Changes**
* Relay WebSocket now uses `X-Real-Ip` / `X-Real-Port` only when the
immediate peer is from the configured trusted set; otherwise it falls
back to the direct remote address.
* Proxy client IP resolution is now consistent and honors
`X-Forwarded-For` only through trusted hops.
* **Operational**
  * Invalid `--trusted-proxies` values fail fast on startup.
