✅ 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.

+
+Read the example captcha before this, to better understand what is done here.
+
+### Traefik configuration
+
+The minimal configuration is defined below to implement custom captcha.  
+This documentation use https://github.com/a-ve/wicketkeeper, a self-hosted captcha provider that have a similar API than big providers.
+
+Minimal API requirement:
+
+- the JS file URL to load the captcha on the served `captcha.html`
+- the HTML className to tell to the JS where to display the challenge
+- the verify URL endpoint to send the field `response` from the captcha with `content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded`
+- the name of the field when you POST the resolved captcha to Traefik
+
+- the JS file need to respect the `data-callback` on the div that contains the captcha if you use our template, but you can customize it by your side

+# Binary e2e suite (Traefik binary + mock LAPI)
+
+This suite runs **Traefik as a downloaded binary** with the plugin loaded from
+the local source tree, and replaces Crowdsec with a small **HTTP mock**
+([`mocklapi/`](mocklapi/main.go), a stdlib-only Go command). No Docker, no real
+Crowdsec.
+
+It is what **CI runs** (`make e2e_mock`). A separate, local-only **Docker
+suite** (real Traefik + Crowdsec, under `tests/e2e/scenarios`) is kept for
+high-fidelity debugging against a real Crowdsec but is not exercised in CI; it
+ships in its own PR (#333).
+
+## Scope — what this suite tests
+
+These tests validate the **plugin's own behaviour**: the request flow through
+the Traefik middleware, the live / none / stream modes, caching, trusted-IP
+bypass, ban / captcha page rendering, and the AppSec request path (header
+forwarding + enforcing the engine's allow/block verdict).
+
+The mock stands in for Crowdsec, emulating the slice of the LAPI HTTP contract
+the plugin consumes — including a single, deterministic AppSec rule (block any
+URI containing `rpc2`, the probe from [`examples/appsec-enabled`](../../../examples/appsec-enabled)).
+It is not the real WAF engine, so this suite exercises the plugin's AppSec
+*wiring* rather than the detection accuracy of OWASP CRS / virtual patching —
+that lives upstream in Crowdsec.
+
+## What runs
+
+| Component | How |
+|-----------|-----|
+| Traefik   | Binary `v3.7.1`, downloaded into `.cache/` (reused across local runs; re-downloaded on fresh CI runners) |
+| Plugin    | Loaded via `experimental.localPlugins` from the repo root (symlinked into `plugins-local/`) |
+| LAPI      | `mocklapi` — a stdlib-only Go command (its own nested module), compiled and cached under `.cache/`, driven through `/admin` endpoints instead of `cscli` |
+| AppSec    | WAF stand-in built into the mock — blocks URIs containing `rpc2`, allows the rest |
+| Backend   | A plain HTTP responder built into the mock |
+
+Fixed ports (override with env vars if needed): Traefik `8000`, LAPI `8090`,
+backend `8091`, AppSec `8092`.
+
+## Running locally
+
+Prerequisites: `bash`, `curl`, `go`, `tar`. On first use the Traefik binary is
+fetched and the mock is compiled into `.cache/`. That cache is reused across
+local runs; CI runs on fresh runners, so both are recreated on every CI run.
+
+```bash
+# one scenario
+make e2e_mock_stream-mode
+# or directly
+./tests/e2e/mock/scenarios/stream-mode/run.sh
+
+# the whole suite
+make e2e_mock
+```
+
+## Layout
+
+```
+mock/
+  lib/
+    common.sh     # stack lifecycle, Traefik download, mock build, assertions, admin client
+    traefik.yml   # static Traefik config (shared by all scenarios)
+  mocklapi/
+    go.mod        # nested module — kept out of the plugin's build/lint/vendor
+    main.go       # mock LAPI + AppSec stand-in + backend
+  scenarios/
+    <name>/
+      dynamic.yml # Traefik dynamic config (router + bouncer middleware + backend)
+      run.sh      # assertions for the scenario
+      *.html      # optional fixtures (ban / captcha templates)
+```
+
+`dynamic.yml` uses placeholders (`@@APIKEY@@`, `@@LAPI_HOST@@`,
+`@@BACKEND_URL@@`, `@@SCENARIO_DIR@@`) that `common.sh` substitutes at runtime.
+
+## Adding a scenario
+
+1. Create `scenarios/<name>/dynamic.yml` and `run.sh` (copy `stream-mode/` as a
+   template).
+2. In `run.sh`, define a `body` function with the assertions and call
+   `run_scenario "<name>" "$HERE" body`.
+3. Drive decisions with `lapi_add_decision <ip> [type] [duration]` and
+   `lapi_delete_decision <ip>`.
+4. Add `<name>` to `E2E_MOCK_SCENARIOS` in the `Makefile`.
