Valerio 2ba682adf3 feat(server): add OSS webclaw-server REST API binary (closes #29)
Self-hosters hitting docs/self-hosting were promised three binaries
but the OSS Docker image only shipped two. webclaw-server lived in
the closed-source hosted-platform repo, which couldn't be opened. This
adds a minimal axum REST API in the OSS repo so self-hosting actually
works without pretending to ship the cloud platform.

Crate at crates/webclaw-server/. Stateless, no database, no job queue,
single binary. Endpoints: GET /health, POST /v1/{scrape, crawl, map,
batch, extract, summarize, diff, brand}. JSON shapes mirror
api.webclaw.io for the endpoints OSS can support, so swapping between
self-hosted and hosted is a base-URL change.

Auth: optional bearer token via WEBCLAW_API_KEY / --api-key. Comparison
is constant-time (subtle::ConstantTimeEq). Open mode (no key) is
allowed and binds 127.0.0.1 by default; the Docker image flips
WEBCLAW_HOST=0.0.0.0 so the container is reachable out of the box.

Hard caps to keep naive callers from OOMing the process: crawl capped
at 500 pages synchronously, batch capped at 100 URLs / 20 concurrent.
For unbounded crawls or anti-bot bypass the docs point users at the
hosted API.

Dockerfile + Dockerfile.ci updated to copy webclaw-server into
/usr/local/bin and EXPOSE 3000. Workspace version bumped to 0.4.0
(new public binary).
