Add flag-driven minimal API bootstrapper alongside configurable pipeline

[Copilot]

Created a configurable minimal-API bootstrap equivalent to the existing ASP.NET Core bootstrap, replacing the method-chain pattern with flag-driven options for easier reuse and simplification.

• Minimal API bootstrap options: Introduced MinimalApiBootstrapOptions with ApiBootstrapperFeatures flags (correlation, health, auth, OpenAPI, start page, etc.), configurable error detail level, optional sections, and hooks for services/endpoints.
• Service and pipeline wiring: Added BootstrapMinimalApi/UseMinimalApiBootstrap to register minimal services and compose middleware/endpoints based on feature flags; generalized MVC pipeline to honor the same flags.
• Tests: Added unit tests validating default minimal bootstrap wiring, feature gating (e.g., disabling correlation), and binding additional configuration sections.

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var options = builder.BootstrapMinimalApi(o =>
{
    o.Features &= ~ApiBootstrapperFeatures.RequestCorrelation;
    o.AddSection<CustomOptions>("CustomOptions");
});

var app = builder.Build();
app.UseMinimalApiBootstrap(options);
app.MapGet("/ping", () => "pong");

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
