Link thumbnails: post og:image previews + WOTD default-off

URL link previews now post the page's og:image as an inline m.image thumbnail above the title/description reply. All outbound fetches in the preview path (page scrape, image HEAD probe, image download) route through a new SSRF/DoS-hardened safehttp client so a posted link can't steer fetches at loopback/RFC1918/cloud-metadata IPs or OOM the parser. Also flips the daily WOTD auto-post to opt-in (ENABLE_WOTD_POST=true) instead of opt-out.
