Bug 2005990 - Skip LNA checks for same-origin requests. r=necko-reviewers,valentin
Allow same-origin requests to bypass Local Network Access (LNA) checks,
as these represent legitimate scenarios such as network changes or device
migration to private/corporate networks.
Changes:
- Modified nsHttpChannel::UpdateLocalNetworkAccessPermissions() to check
if the triggering principal and target URI are same-origin before
applying LNA restrictions
- Updated makeChannel() test helper to support explicit triggering
principal configuration, defaulting to cross-origin for existing tests
- Added test coverage for same-origin LNA behavior across different
address space transitions (Public, Private, Local)
