fix(auth): set the session cookie's Secure flag behind a TLS-terminating proxy (M462 #4977)

The cookie set Secure from r.TLS, which is nil whenever TLS terminates at
Traefik or Cloudflare, so a public deployment's session cookie went out
without Secure. auth.IsHTTPS now decides it from X-Forwarded-Proto, believed
only through the trusted-hop count (rule 94) and read positionally like
X-Forwarded-For. Plain-HTTP and LAN logins are unchanged; nothing redirects.
