Pull request overview

This PR updates Dashy’s Public IP widget to use alternative IP providers, adds an option to hide location details, improves handling of long (IPv6) addresses, and hardens proxy/request error handling to avoid server crashes when forwarding failures.

Changes:

• Reworked Public IP widget providers (new defaults + provider parsing/normalization) and added hideLocation plus long-IP font scaling.
• Improved server-side request/proxy error serialization to avoid JSON circular-reference crashes.
• Updated documentation and tweaked issue/tagging automation workflows.
