fix(nip05): always serve the well-known directory with CORS * (federation)

The NIP-05 directory (/.well-known/nostr.json) is public, read-only, unauth'd data
that MUST be cross-origin fetchable — any Nostr client on any domain resolves
`user@this-instance` by fetching it. It was covered by the single global CORS layer,
so it only got `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` when CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS was empty
(the default). An operator who restricts CORS to their own frontend would silently
break NIP-05 resolution for every other domain/wallet — federation dies for that
instance with no error.

Split CORS into two route groups: the public surface (well-known + health + landing)
always serves `*`; the /api/v1 surface keeps the operator's configurable policy. The
API's CORS behavior is unchanged (it still gets the same `cors` layer); only the
public directory is now unconditionally cross-origin. cargo check clean.
