feat: forward mode as default, recursive opt-in

Forward mode (transparent proxy to system DNS) is now the default.
Recursive and auto modes are explicit opt-in via config. This avoids
bypassing corporate DNS policies, captive portals, VPC private zones,
and parental controls on first install.

- Move #[default] from Auto to Forward on UpstreamMode
- DNSSEC defaults to off (no-op in forward mode)
- 3-way match in main: Forward/Recursive/Auto with clean separation
- Post-install message suggests mode = "recursive" for sovereignty
- Update README, site, and launch drafts messaging
