✅ e2e mock: add AppSec scenario + custom remediation header assertion

Address review feedback on the binary e2e suite:

- mocklapi: add an AppSec WAF stand-in (--appsec-addr) that blocks any URI
  containing "rpc2" — the exact probe from examples/appsec-enabled — and allows
  the rest. Lets the suite exercise the plugin's AppSec wiring (header
  forwarding + allow/block enforcement) without the real CRS engine.
- new scenarios/appsec: benign request passes, /foo/rpc2 is 403.
- custom-ban-page: assert the banned response carries the custom remediation
  header (remediationHeadersCustomName), per review.
- README: drop the "don't open issues / AppSec intentionally absent" framing;
  describe what the suite actually covers, including AppSec wiring.

 #### Use HTTPS to communicate with the LAPI
 
-Set `crowdsecLapiScheme` to `https`. The plugin then validates Crowdsec's server certificate. Three options:
-
-- **Publicly trusted certificate** (e.g. Let's Encrypt behind a reverse proxy): leave `crowdsecLapiTLSCertificateAuthority` empty and `crowdsecLapiTLSInsecureVerify` `false`. The plugin falls back to the host's system trust store (the `traefik` image ships `ca-certificates`).
-- **Private/self-signed CA**: set `crowdsecLapiTLSCertificateAuthority` (or `…File`) to the PEM-encoded CA that signed Crowdsec's server cert.
-- **Skip verification entirely** (not recommended for production): set `crowdsecLapiTLSInsecureVerify` to `true`.
+To communicate with the LAPI in HTTPS you need to either accept any certificates by setting the `crowdsecLapiTLSInsecureVerify` to true or add the CA used by the server certificate of Crowdsec using `crowdsecLapiTLSCertificateAuthority` or `crowdsecLapiTLSCertificateAuthorityFile`.
+Set the `crowdsecLapiScheme` to https.
 
 Crowdsec must be listening in HTTPS for this to work.
 Please see the [tls-auth example](https://github.com/maxlerebourg/crowdsec-bouncer-traefik-plugin/blob/main/examples/tls-auth/README.md) or the official documentation: [docs.crowdsec.net/docs/local_api/tls_auth/](https://docs.crowdsec.net/docs/local_api/tls_auth/)
 
 #### Use HTTPS to communicate with the Appsec
 
-Set `crowdsecAppsecScheme` to `https`. Same three options as for the LAPI, prefixed `crowdsecAppsec…` instead of `crowdsecLapi…`: empty CA + secure verify falls back to the system trust store, a custom CA pins to your private PKI, and `crowdsecAppsecTLSInsecureVerify=true` skips verification altogether.
+To communicate with the Appsec in HTTPS you need to either accept any certificates by setting the `crowdsecAppsecTLSInsecureVerify` to true or add the CA used by the server certificate of Crowdsec using `crowdsecAppsecTLSCertificateAuthority` or `crowdsecAppsecTLSCertificateAuthorityFile`.
+Set the `crowdsecAppsecScheme` to https.
 
 Currently AppSec does not support mTLS authentication for the AppSec Component.
