fix(browse): block direct IPv6 link-local navigation

URL validation centralises link-local (fe80::/10) into BLOCKED_IPV6_PREFIXES
alongside ULA (fc00::/7), so direct `http://[fe80::N]/` URLs are rejected
the same way `http://[fc00::]/` already was. Previously the link-local
guard only fired during DNS AAAA resolution, leaving direct-literal URLs
to slip through.

Prefix range covers fe80::-febf::: ['fe8','fe9','fea','feb'].

Regression test: validateNavigationUrl('http://[fe80::2]/') now throws
with /cloud metadata/i.
