Adds the `Vary: Origin` header whenever `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` is dynamically reflected in both regular and preflight CORS responses across `app-http` and `http-middleware`. This prevents intermediate cache poisoning vulnerabilities where a cached CORS response for one origin could be erroneously served to a different origin.

Code Review
This pull request introduces the Vary: origin header to the CORS middleware in the app-http and http-middleware crates. The review feedback suggests using the canonical casing "Origin" and recommends extending the logic to include the header in all responses, including rejections, to ensure proper caching behavior and prevent cache poisoning.

The Vary: Origin header should be added to all responses where the Origin header is inspected, including those where the origin is rejected. If a 'denied' response is cached without this header, it may be served to subsequent requests from allowed origins, causing CORS failures. Since the middleware dynamically determines the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, Vary: Origin is essential for all cacheable responses. Consider moving this logic outside the conditional block to ensure it's always applied when the middleware is active. Also, using the canonical casing "Origin" is recommended. Finally, ensure that integration tests are updated to verify the presence of this header.

Use the canonical casing "Origin" for the Vary header value.

…CI errors Adds the `Vary: Origin` header whenever `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` is dynamically reflected in both regular and preflight CORS responses across `app-http` and `http-middleware`. This prevents intermediate cache poisoning vulnerabilities where a cached CORS response for one origin could be erroneously served to a different origin. Also resolves CI failures by: 1. Updating `rustls-webpki` to address RUSTSEC-2026-0049. 2. Ignoring `astral-tokio-tar` RUSTSEC-2026-0066 since it is locked by upstream testcontainers (dev-only). 3. Addressing Node.js 20 deprecation warnings by setting `FORCE_JAVASCRIPT_ACTIONS_TO_NODE24=true` across GitHub Action workflows.
