jklein e67dba21a3 refactor(searxng): ambientMesh becomes an object carrying Istio's two constants
Gitea #143, maintainer's instruction. The HBONE port and the redirected probe
source are ISTIO CONSTANTS, not standards, so they move from template literals
into values with documented defaults - an operator can then correct them when
Istio changes a number, without waiting for a chart release.

One object under one "enabled", so the two halves still cannot be set
separately; two values could drift apart, which is what this design exists to
prevent. Every read is null-safe (#99), so a deleted object or one carrying
only "enabled: true" falls back to the defaults declared here rather than
dereferencing nil - the defect #136 shipped one value away.

Provenance now written on each constant: 15008 is Istio's HBONE port, not
IANA-registered for this and unknown to Kubernetes; 169.254.7.127 is link-local
(RFC 3927, never routed), its IPv6 counterpart carries the same digits plus
1337, and neither the NetworkPolicy API nor the kubelet knows the address -
only Istio's data plane rewrites the probe source onto it. Both read for
ztunnel 1.30.6, and a change in either fails silently.

The exception in ci/run-networkpolicy-test.sh stays pinned to the numbers that
test names, and additionally asserts this chart declares the same defaults -
never "whatever the value says", which would let a mistyped port in through a
configurable field.

No version change: nothing is published yet, the default is still off, and the
render at defaults is byte-identical - re-diffed against origin/main.
