fix(provider-utils): align download credentials to strict same-origin

AI SDK's credentialedOrigin sends caller headers only to the exact
configured origin; the previous parent-domain sibling rule was wider
than that (and unsafe for shared-suffix bases like co.uk or github.io).
Credentials now travel only when the target is strictly same-origin
with trusted_origin, checked before the first request and on every
redirect hop. Also fold the repeated bracketed-IPv6 literal parsing
into host_ip_literal.
