Copilot de3476d332 Remove HTTPS binding dependency from server packages (#4297)
# Description

`Opc.Ua.Server` and `Opc.Ua.Gds.Server.Common` depended directly on
`Opc.Ua.Bindings.Https`, which pulled ASP.NET Core into server
applications
even when optional HTTPS-based transports were not used.

- Remove the HTTPS binding project references from Server and GDS
entirely.
- Add a Core-owned `IOpcUaTransportBuilder` contract for builders that
support
  transport registration.
- Move the type-preserving HTTPS, WSS, Kestrel OPC TCP, and Web API
fluent
  extensions into `Opc.Ua.Bindings.Https`.
- Remove the repository-wide `NoHttps` / `NOHTTPS` build switch.
- Keep ConsoleReferenceServer HTTPS/WSS support through an explicit
binding
  reference and the ASP.NET Core container runtime.
- Document that applications must reference the optional binding package
  directly.

## Validation

- Built `Opc.Ua.Bindings.Https` in Release for all target frameworks.
- Built Server and GDS for .NET 10 and .NET Framework 4.8.
- Built ConsoleReferenceServer and PumpDeviceIntegrationServer for .NET
10.
- Passed 65 HTTPS binding dependency-injection tests.
- Passed focused Server and GDS transport-builder tests.
- Verified refreshed Server/GDS restore assets and output manifests
contain no
  `Opc.Ua.Bindings.Https` dependency.
