fix: remove invalid trusted_proxies structure causing 500 error on proxy host save

Remove handler-level `trusted_proxies` configuration from ReverseProxyHandler that was
using an invalid object structure. Caddy's reverse_proxy handler expects trusted_proxies
to be an array of CIDR strings, not an object with {source, ranges}.

The server-level trusted_proxies configuration in config.go already provides equivalent
IP spoofing protection globally for all routes, making the handler-level setting redundant.

Changes:
- backend: Remove lines 184-189 from internal/caddy/types.go
- backend: Update 3 unit tests to remove handler-level trusted_proxies assertions
- docs: Document fix in CHANGELOG.md

Fixes: #[issue-number] (500 error when saving proxy hosts)

Tests: All 84 backend tests pass (84.6% coverage)
Security: Trivy + govulncheck clean, no vulnerabilities

## Summary
**Root Cause Identified:** The 500 error is caused by an invalid Caddy configuration structure where `trusted_proxies` is set as an **object** at the **handler level** (within `reverse_proxy`), but Caddy's `http.handlers.reverse_proxy` expects it to be either:
1. An **array of strings** at the handler level, OR
2. An **object** only at the **server level**
The error from Caddy logs:
```
json: cannot unmarshal object into Go struct field Handler.trusted_proxies of type []string
```
