fix(web): stop /config/main handing out every credential it holds

+"""GET /config/main must not hand out credentials.
+
+The endpoint returned the raw config to anyone who could reach the port, and
+this web interface has no authentication of any kind. Measured against a live
+rig, an unauthenticated request returned:
+
+    github.api_token                40 chars
+    incoming-packages.ha_token     183 chars
+    jellyfin-now-playing.api_key    32 chars
+    ledmatrix-weather.api_key       32 chars
+    on-air.mqtt_password             8 chars
+    youtube.api_key                 20 chars
+    youtube-stats.api_key           39 chars
+
+A GitHub token and a Home Assistant long-lived token among them.
+
+The x-secret masking the plugin config endpoints use does not apply here: this
+endpoint never consults a schema, and core keys such as github.api_token have
+no schema to carry the marker. Several of those fields *are* tagged x-secret in
+their plugin's schema and were still returned in full, which is what makes the
+schema route the wrong one to rely on for this endpoint.
+
+Matching on field name is blunt. For a whole-config dump it is the right
+default: anything named like a credential should not leave the process, and a
+new plugin that adds a differently-shaped secret is covered without anyone
+remembering to tag it.
