feat(gdpr): IP/privacy audit (PR2 of #6701) (#7547)
* docs: PR2 GDPR IP/privacy audit design spec

Second of five GDPR PRs (#6701). Audit identifies four log-sites that
leak IPs despite disableIPlogging=true, proposes a tri-state ipLogging
setting with a back-compat shim, and specifies a doc/privacy.md that
documents Etherpad's actual IP handling.

* docs: PR2 GDPR IP/privacy audit implementation plan

7 TDD-structured tasks: anonymizeIp helper + unit tests, tri-state
ipLogging setting with disableIPlogging deprecation shim, wiring
through 5 leaking log sites, clientVars.clientIp removal, access-log
integration test, doc/privacy.md, and PR handoff.

* feat(gdpr): anonymizeIp helper with v4/v6/v4-mapped truncation

* feat(gdpr): tri-state ipLogging setting + disableIPlogging shim

* fix(gdpr): route every IP log site through anonymizeIp

Closes four leaks where disableIPlogging was silently ignored
(rate-limit warn, both auth-log calls in webaccess, import/export
rate-limit warn) and normalises the four that did honour the flag
onto the new ipLogging tri-state via the shared helper.

* chore(gdpr): drop dead clientVars.clientIp placeholder

Server side: remove the literal '127.0.0.1' assignments from both
clientVars and collab_client_vars. Type side: drop clientIp from
ClientVarPayload and ServerVar. pad.getClientIp now returns the same
'127.0.0.1' literal as a plugin-compat shim (pad_utils.uniqueId still
uses it as a prefix).

* test(gdpr): ipLogging modes + disableIPlogging shim

* docs(gdpr): operator-facing privacy and IP handling statement

* fix(gdpr): validate ipLogging at load + regression test for log sites

Qodo review:
- settings.ipLogging is loaded as a trusted union but nothing enforced
  the shape. An unknown value (e.g. a typo or null) silently fell
  through to anonymizeIp's "truncated" branch and emitted partially
  redacted IPs. Fall back to "anonymous" with a WARN at load time.
- New regression test scans the four known log-sites for raw
  req.ip / socket.request.ip / request.ip inside logger calls that
  don't wrap through anonymizeIp / logIp, so a future edit that
  re-introduces a raw IP fails CI.
