fix: proxy Plex through a TLS upstream (PMS drops plain HTTP off-loopback)

PMS 1.43.x on :32400 accepts, reads, and silently closes every non-TLS
connection from a non-loopback source (loopback exempt). The plain-HTTP
reverse_proxy therefore got EOF and Caddy answered an empty-body 502.
Both Plex vhosts now dial the upstream over TLS with
insecure_skip_verify (PMS self-signed cert, pinned LAN hop only;
client-facing Let's Encrypt TLS unchanged).

Both Plex vhosts dial PMS **over TLS upstream** (`transport http { tls { insecure_skip_verify } }`): PMS 1.43.x silently closes plain-HTTP connections from non-loopback sources (diagnosed 2026-08-26 — it accepts, reads the request, and FINs without responding), which surfaced here as an empty-body 502 (blank page in browsers). `insecure_skip_verify` applies only to this pinned-LAN hop (PMS serves a self-signed cert); client-facing Let's Encrypt TLS is unchanged. The Plex web UI is at `/web/`; `/` returns the XML `MediaContainer` index.
