fix: keep embedded Console login working over loopback TLS (#108)

The embedded Console reaches the S3/STS API at https://127.0.0.1:<port>
(minioConfigToConsoleFeatures), a loopback endpoint whose TLS certificate is
not expected to carry a 127.0.0.1 SAN. silo-console v2.3.x began verifying
every outbound TLS peer, so the Console's STS AssumeRole handshake to that
loopback endpoint now fails certificate validation and BOTH local and LDAP
logins fail with a generic "invalid login". The failure happens in the Console
HTTP client before any request reaches a server auth/STS/LDAP handler, so no
server-side auth error is logged, matching the report.

Restore the documented loopback bypass by opting the embedded Console into its
endpoint-scoped CONSOLE_MINIO_SERVER_TLS_SKIP_VERIFY switch whenever the server
falls back to the 127.0.0.1 endpoint under TLS. The exemption is scoped to that
single loopback origin inside Console; every other HTTPS peer (IdP, Prometheus,
webhooks) stays verified, preserving the v2.3.x hardening. An explicitly
configured endpoint is reached under its own verified name and is never
exempted. initConsoleServer unsets CONSOLE_* before re-deriving them, so the
switch cannot be supplied by the operator on the embedded path; the server must
assert it.

Fixes #108
