Backport #38323 by @bircni
Three independent security hardening fixes, each with a regression test:
- **Locale DoS:** the `Locale` middleware passed the raw
`Accept-Language` header to `ParseAcceptLanguage`, whose guard only
counts `-` while the scanner aliases `_` to `-` — a large `_`-separated
header on an unauthenticated request burned CPU. The header is now
length-bounded before parsing.
- **Public-only token scope:** `GET /teams/{id}/repos`,
`.../repos/{org}/{repo}`, `/teams/{id}/activities/feeds`, and
`/users/{username}/orgs/{org}/permissions` still returned private
repo/activity/permission data to a public-only token. They now filter
via `TokenCanAccessRepo` / `ApplyPublicOnly` and reject non-public org
permissions.
- **Push-option visibility:** `repo.private` / `repo.template` push
options were applied to any existing repo, letting an owner/admin
silently flip visibility bypassing audit, webhooks, and notifications.
They are now honored only on push-to-create.

This PR closes remaining `public-only` token gaps in the API by making
the restriction apply consistently across repository, organization,
activity, notification, and authenticated `/api/v1/user/...` routes.
Previously, `public-only` tokens were still able to:
- receive private results from some list/search/self endpoints,
- access repository data through ID-based lookups,
- and reach several authenticated self routes that should remain
unavailable for public-only access.
This change treats `public-only` as a cross-cutting visibility boundary:
- list/search endpoints now filter private resources consistently,
- repository lookups enforce the same restriction even when addressed
indirectly,
- and self routes that inherently expose or mutate private account state
now reject `public-only` tokens.
