fix: let the panel reach the API over plain HTTP, deliberately

The e-ink firmware carries a certificate-authority bundle fixed when it
was built, so it cannot validate a chain rooted in an authority created
afterwards. Let's Encrypt's ISRG Root YR was issued in May 2026 and is
not even in an up-to-date Ubuntu CA bundle yet; the kit's firmware
predates it. The handshake fails before a request is ever sent, which is
why neither Traefik nor the application saw anything at all while the
device reported "API connection cannot be established".

Ruled out first, with evidence: TLS 1.2 and the ECDHE-RSA-AES-GCM suites
an ESP32 needs are both offered, and the intermediate is not
cross-signed by an older root, so no alternate path exists in what is
served.

A Traefik router now serves four device paths over :80, ahead of the
entrypoint-wide redirect. The administration stays on TLS. The device
token travels in clear; it is used for nothing else and is revocable
from the settings page, and the image URL is an unguessable content hash.

DEVICE_ALLOW_HTTP existed but was never read — a setting that does
nothing misrepresents what it protects. The device routes now refuse an
unencrypted request unless it is set, so opening this door is a written
decision rather than the silent consequence of a proxy change.

DEPLOY.md records the whole diagnosis, including the commands that
distinguish a TLS failure from an application one, and what to do the
day the firmware learns the new roots.
