Both F-Pn manuscripts (Lat. 12044 and Lat. 15181) showed no images, because `/manifest-proxy/` answered 500 for their manifests. Gallica refuses the default `requests` User-Agent with "403 Access Interdit", while accepting a descriptive one, so it works in the browser. That 403 body then went into `json.loads(response.text)`, raising `JSONDecodeError` (a `ValueError`, not a `RequestException`), so it escaped the view's handler and Django answered 500 where the code meant to answer 404. The same manifest opens fine in a browser, which is why the failure looked like Gallica's rather than ours. Send an identifying User-Agent, call `raise_for_status()` and `response.json()` so an error status and an unparseable body both reach the handler, and turn away JSON that parses but is not an object, which would otherwise fail further down in the postprocessing. Report all of it as 502 rather than 404, so a caller can tell a library that failed us from a route that does not exist. These requests had no timeout at all, so a library that stopped responding held one of the four gunicorn workers until gunicorn's own 600 second limit. They now give up after 5 seconds waiting to connect and 30 waiting for the body. Fixes #1007 Refs #937

Restrict manifest targets before the outbound request.
manifest_url comes from a client-controlled route parameter and reaches requests.get() without host, IP-range, or redirect restrictions. An attacker can request JSON endpoints on internal or link-local services and receive their response through this proxy.
Allow only approved manifest hosts. Validate each resolved destination and each redirect target before sending the request.
