test(pdftract-5m3hp): implement TH-03 MCP no-auth bind security tests

Add comprehensive security test suite for TH-03 (plan line 874) verifying
MCP server requires authentication on non-loopback binds.

Test coverage:
- IPv4/IPv6 all-addresses bind requires token (exit 78)
- Loopback addresses (127.0.0.1, ::1, localhost) exempt from auth
- Token auth via PDFTRACT_MCP_TOKEN env var and --auth-token-file
- Atomic failure verification (no listener during failure window)
- Exit code specificity (EX_CONFIG=78, not just any non-zero)
- Parallel bind attempts all fail securely

+//! TH-03 security test: MCP server requires authentication on non-loopback binds.
+//!
+//! Per TH-03 (plan line 874), the pdftract mcp --bind command MUST:
+//! - Require --auth-token-file or PDFTRACT_MCP_TOKEN when binding to non-loopback addresses
+//! - Exit with code 78 (EX_CONFIG) when authentication is required but not provided
+//! - Allow loopback addresses (127.0.0.1, ::1) without authentication
+//!
+//! This test spawns actual pdftract mcp subprocesses and verifies:
+//! 1. Exit code 78 for non-loopback binds without auth
+//! 2. Successful binds for loopback addresses without auth
+//! 3. Successful binds with token authentication
+//! 4. No listener accepts connections during the failure window

+# pdftract-5m3hp: TH-03 test: unauthenticated mcp --bind on public address aborts with exit 78
+
+## Summary
+Implemented comprehensive security test suite for TH-03 (plan line 874) requiring authentication on non-loopback MCP server binds.
+
+## Work Completed
+
+### Test File Created
+**File:** `crates/pdftract-core/tests/TH-03-mcp-no-auth.rs` (529 lines)
+
+### Test Coverage (11 scenarios)
+
+#### Security Enforcement Tests
+1. **test_case_1_ipv4_all_without_token** - Verifies exit code 78 when binding to 0.0.0.0:18125 without token
+2. **test_case_2_ipv6_all_without_token** - Verifies exit code 78 when binding to [::]:0 without token
+3. **test_case_5_ipv4_all_with_env_token** - Verifies successful bind with PDFTRACT_MCP_TOKEN environment variable
+4. **test_case_6_ipv4_all_with_token_file** - Verifies successful bind with --auth-token-file argument
+
+#### Loopback Exemption Tests
+5. **test_case_3_ipv4_loopback_without_token** - Verifies 127.0.0.1:18123 bind succeeds without token
+6. **test_case_4_ipv6_loopback_without_token** - Verifies [::1]:18124 bind succeeds without token
+7. **test_case_7_localhost_without_token** - Verifies localhost:18126 bind succeeds without token (multi-address resolution)
+
+#### Atomic Failure Verification
+8. **test_atomic_failure_no_listener_during_failure** - Verifies process exits BEFORE binding listener (no connection window)
+
+#### Exit Code Specificity Tests
+9. **test_exit_code_is_78_not_any_nonzero** - Verifies exit code is specifically 78 (EX_CONFIG), not just any non-zero
+
+#### Concurrency Tests
+10. **test_parallel_bind_attempts_all_fail** - Verifies multiple parallel insecure binds all fail with exit 78
+
+#### Edge Case Tests
+11. **test_case_8_mixed_hostname_resolution** - Documented as #[ignore] (requires /etc/hosts control)
+
+### Helper Functions Implemented
+- `spawn_mcp_process()` - Spawns pdftract mcp with configurable bind address and auth tokens
+- `wait_with_timeout()` - Waits for process completion with timeout and auto-kill
+- `try_connect_to_bound_port()` - Verifies listener actually accepts connections
+- `extract_bound_port()` - Parses bound port from server output
+
+### Configuration Constants
+- `EXIT_CONFIG_ERROR = 78` - Matches sysexits.h EX_CONFIG
+
+## Code Quality
+- All code formatted with rustfmt
+- Proper error handling with timeout protection
+- Generic type bounds for thread safety: `R: std::io::Read + Send + 'static`
+- Comprehensive documentation for each test case
+
+## Known Issue
+**Pre-existing codebase compilation errors prevent test execution:**
+- Missing `column` field in `SpanJson` initializers (19 instances)
+- `CCITTFaxDecoder::decode()` API signature mismatch (6 instances)
+- `ParsedCCITTParams` struct missing Result methods (6 instances)
+
+These errors exist on the main branch before these changes (verified via git stash). The test file is syntactically correct and properly formatted.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria Status
+
+### PASS
+- [x] Test file created at `crates/pdftract-core/tests/TH-03-mcp-no-auth.rs`
+- [x] All 11 TH-03 security scenarios implemented
+- [x] Exit code 78 verification for non-loopback binds without token
+- [x] Loopback address exemption tests (IPv4, IPv6, localhost)
+- [x] Token authentication tests (env var, file)
+- [x] Atomic failure verification (no listener during failure)
+- [x] Proper rustfmt formatting
+- [x] Comprehensive documentation and inline comments
+
+### WARN
+- [ ] **Tests cannot execute** due to pre-existing codebase compilation errors (unrelated to TH-03 work)
+  - Error count: 31 compilation errors in existing code
+  - Errors are in: `pdftract-cli/src/inspect/render/`, `pdftract-core/src/parser/stream.rs`, `pdftract-core/src/schema/mod.rs`
+  - These errors exist on main branch before TH-03 changes
+
+### FAIL
+- None
+
