Security: validate remote OCR endpoint against internal SSRF (#13897)

* Security: validate remote OCR endpoint against internal SSRF

Adds PAPERLESS_REMOTE_OCR_ALLOW_INTERNAL_ENDPOINTS (default true)
and validates remote_ocr_endpoint via validate_outbound_http_url
on the config serializer, matching the existing LLM endpoint handling.

* Validates te outbound url again right before use

* cover empty-value branch of validate_remote_ocr_endpoint because coverage

* re-validate remote OCR endpoint on every outbound request
