This commit implements HSTS as a built-in Nebari feature, addressing
security compliance requirements mentioned in the related issue.
Changes:
- Add HSTS configuration schema to Ingress class with options for:
- enabled: Toggle HSTS on/off (default: false)
- max_age: HSTS max-age in seconds (default: 31536000 = 1 year)
- include_subdomains: Include subdomains in policy (default: true)
- preload: Enable HSTS preload (default: false)
- Create Traefik middleware resource for HSTS headers
- Conditionally created based on hsts-enabled setting
- Applies to both websecure (443) and minio (9080) entrypoints
- Update Traefik deployment to use HSTS middleware when enabled
Users can now enable HSTS in their nebari-config.yaml:
```yaml
ingress:
hsts:
enabled: true
max_age: 31536000
include_subdomains: true
preload: false
```
This replaces the previous workaround of manually creating middleware
resources and using terraform_overrides.

Changed the default HSTS max-age from 31536000 (1 year) to 30 seconds to allow safe initial testing of HSTS configuration. Rationale: - HSTS headers instruct browsers to remember HTTPS enforcement for the specified duration - If misconfigured with a long max-age, users could be locked out until the duration expires - A 30-second default allows administrators to validate the configuration works correctly before committing to a longer duration Added detailed comments in: - Python schema (__init__.py) explaining the conservative default - Terraform variables (variables.tf) noting the production recommendation - Middleware resource (hsts-middleware.tf) with example configuration Users should increase max_age to production values (e.g., 31536000) after validating their deployment works correctly. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

if hsts is not in config, then default to enabling it for lets-encrypt and existing certs, otherwise default to disabling it

Summary
This PR adds built-in HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) configuration to Nebari's ingress layer.
If HSTS is unspecified, then it will be enabled for existing, and let's encrypt certs, but not enabled for self-signed or no cert.
