feat(flags): serve /api/flags, and keep the public proxy off it

The endpoint and its exposure control ship together on purpose. The
moment /api/flags exists, app/api/[...path] forwards it — and the
response names every unreleased feature the codebase knows about, along
with whether it is on. Publishing that is the opposite of shipping dark.

Denied on an exact first-segment match, not a prefix, so /api/flagship
does not go down with /api/flags. Next reads the endpoint server-side
over the Docker network, which never transits the public proxy.

jest.setup.js now guards its browser globals. It runs for every suite,
including the one that declares @jest-environment node to exercise the
route handler — NextRequest needs Fetch API globals jsdom lacks, and
there is no window there to define matchMedia on.
