Kevin Veen-Birkenbach 857c470c9e fix(iframe): open only configured origins from the iframe query parameter ...

?iframe=<url> loaded any http(s) page into the dashboard frame, and
"Open in new tab" handed the same query value to window.open unchecked,
so a crafted link could show an arbitrary site inside the trusted page.
CodeQL flagged both as client-side URL redirection and XSS. The scheme
check sat before the fade callback that sets the iframe src, so it did
not guard that sink, and isSafeUrl itself assigned the untrusted value
to an anchor's href to parse it.

isAllowedIframeUrl now requires a safe scheme and an origin that is the
page's own or one of the configured .iframe-link targets; both query
string entry points check it before openIframe or window.open run.
Clicks on configured links and popup entries keep calling openIframe
directly, which still rejects unsafe schemes. isSafeUrl parses with
new URL instead of a detached anchor.

The Cypress case that expected https://example.com/ to open from the
query string encoded the redirection, so it now asserts that a
configured target opens and that a foreign origin neither loads in the
frame nor reaches window.open. make test passes with 109 Cypress tests.
