Three-layer defense for the AllowInsecureHTTP client option:

1. Environment gate: AllowInsecureHTTP() requires REVIEW_BOT_ALLOW_INSECURE=1
   env var. Without it, the option is silently ignored with a slog.Warn.

2. Warning log on activation: When the env gate IS satisfied, a slog.Warn
   fires at client construction time so operators notice in production logs.

3. Test bypass: AllowInsecureHTTPForTest() skips the env gate entirely,
   keeping test code clean (no t.Setenv needed in every test).

Additionally, doRequest now rejects HTTP URLs unless allowInsecureHTTP is set
on the client, providing defense-in-depth against credential leakage.

Closes #96
