fix(monitors): correct proxy transport and error attribution

Second review round found two blocking defects, both verified against a stub
proxy rather than inferred.

HttpsProxyAgent was used for every target, and it always issues CONNECT:

    PROXY RECEIVED: "CONNECT example.com:80 HTTP/1.1"

Squid's stock ACL permits CONNECT only to 443, so every http:// monitor would
have broken the moment HTTP_PROXY was set — in exactly the hardened networks
this feature targets. Plain-http targets now use http-proxy-agent, which
sends an absolute-URI request. The agent cache keys on target scheme.

A refused CONNECT is replayed onto the socket, so the proxy's own status was
parsed as the target's: a proxy ACL denial reported "the site returned 403",
and a monitor whose customUpCodes included 403 or 407 was marked UP while the
target was never reached. Proxy-tunnel rejections are now detected via the
agent's proxyConnect event and reported as a network error naming the proxy.
The listener is per request and removed in a finally block, so a failure
cannot be attributed to a concurrent check.

Also from review:

- The fallback for an invalid PROXY_MONITOR_TYPES no longer fires when every
  entry was a deliberate but unproxyable type ("ping,port"). Falling back
  there would have proxied http and pagespeed, which the operator never
  nominated. Typos still fall back; unproxyable lists stay empty and warn.
- Dropped the now-redundant strict/insecure agent split: TLS is applied per
  request, and Node already separates socket pools by TLS options, so the
  split only doubled tunnels to the proxy.
- Renamed to ProxyPolicy.ts to match the PascalCase peers in the directory.
- The warning no longer echoes the raw config value.

Adds 9 tests covering scheme selection, tunnel rejection, and the narrowed
fallback. Verified by reverting: the tunnel-failure test fails without the fix.
