Description

If this is a code change, please include a summary of what you've coded, and link to the issue(s) it closes/implements.

If this is a documentation change, please briefly describe what you've changed and why.

This pull request updates our middleware stack and router initialization to inject appropriate X-Robots-Tag HTTP headers in router groups.

This includes specifying different X-Robots-Tag headers for .well-known/nodeinfo and /nodeinfo/2.0|2.1 endpoints depending on instance-stats-mode: if instance-stats-mode is serve then X-Robots-Tag will permit indexing on those endpoints, else noindex, nofollow will be used.

With instance-stats-mode = serve:

Otherwise:

Regardless of instance-stats-mode setting, noai, noimageai tags will be transmitted everywhere, as before.
