fix(deps): bump gofiber/fiber to v3.4.0 for HSTS advisory fix (GHSA-gv83-gqw6-9j2c)

Fiber v3.3.0 and earlier never set the HSTS header in the helmet middleware (GHSA-gv83-gqw6-9j2c, GO-2026-5912). Version v3.4.0 fixes that and adds an open-redirect fix and X-Forwarded-For hardening. Version v3.4.0 does NOT contain the loopback SSRF block that v3.5.0 added to the proxy middleware, so the 127.0.0.1 backend behaviour is unchanged. The full race test suite, including the loopback proxy tests, passes. Transitive bumps: fasthttp v1.71.0 to v1.72.0, klauspost/compress to v1.19.0.

+// batch's DEL succeed was tried first, and does not work against miniredis:
+// its SCAN implementation uses an index-based cursor over a sorted key
+// snapshot (cmd_generic.go cmdScan), which is invalidated as soon as a
+// preceding batch actually deletes keys mid-scan (the very "scan, then
+// delete this batch" loop Clear uses), causing miniredis to abort the SCAN
+// early with a synthetic empty result before Clear's loop reaches the next
+// batch. Real Redis's SCAN cursor (reverse binary iteration) is documented
+// to be robust against concurrent deletion during a single full iteration
+// and would not exhibit this; it is a miniredis simplification, not a
+// RedisConfig defect. Failing every batch's DEL sidesteps it (no batch is
