[test] Add tests for cmd.newProxyCmd and cmd.detectGuardWasm (#3839)

## Test Coverage Improvement: `cmd.newProxyCmd` and
`cmd.detectGuardWasm`

### Function Analyzed

- **Package**: `internal/cmd`
- **Functions**: `newProxyCmd`, `detectGuardWasm`
- **Previous Coverage**: 0% — `proxy_test.go` previously only tested
`clientAddr`
- **Complexity**: High — `newProxyCmd` registers 14 flags with
conditional logic, env-var-driven defaults, a conditional
`MarkFlagRequired` call, and shell completion registration

### Why These Functions?

`newProxyCmd` is the most complex untested function in
`internal/cmd/proxy.go`. It:
- Calls `detectGuardWasm()` to determine whether the baked-in container
guard exists, branching on the result
- Registers 14 flags across multiple types (string, bool, float64,
string slice)
- Uses env-var-driven defaults via `getDefaultLogDir()`,
`getDefaultOTLPEndpoint()`, `getDefaultOTLPServiceName()`, and the
`MCP_GATEWAY_GUARD_POLICY_JSON` env var
- Conditionally marks `--guard-wasm` as required when no baked-in guard
is auto-detected
- Generates dynamic help text that changes based on whether the baked-in
guard was found
- Registers a `guards-mode` completion function

### Tests Added

- ✅ `TestDetectGuardWasm_FileNotFound` — returns `""` when baked-in
guard is absent (standard CI/non-container path)
- ✅ `TestDetectGuardWasm_FileExists` — returns `containerGuardWasmPath`
when file is present (container path, skips gracefully if inapplicable)
- ✅ `TestNewProxyCmd_AllFlagsRegistered` — all 14 expected flags are
registered
- ✅ `TestNewProxyCmd_CommandMetadata` — `Use`, `Short`, `Long`,
`SilenceUsage`, `RunE`
- ✅ `TestNewProxyCmd_DefaultFlagValues` — default values for all flags
when no env vars are set
- ✅ `TestNewProxyCmd_PolicyDefaultFromEnv` — `--policy` picks up
`MCP_GATEWAY_GUARD_POLICY_JSON`
- ✅ `TestNewProxyCmd_OTLPEndpointDefaultFromEnv` — `--otlp-endpoint`
picks up `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT`
- ✅ `TestNewProxyCmd_OTLPServiceNameDefaultFromEnv` —
`--otlp-service-name` picks up `OTEL_SERVICE_NAME`
- ✅ `TestNewProxyCmd_GuardWasmRequiredWhenNoBakedInGuard` —
`--guard-wasm` is enforced as required outside container (tests the
conditional `MarkFlagRequired` branch)
- ✅ `TestNewProxyCmd_GuardWasmFlagHelpText` — help text reflects
"required" vs "auto-detected" based on environment
- ✅ `TestNewProxyCmd_GuardsModeCompletion` — completion returns
`strict`/`filter`/`propagate` with `NoFileComp` directive
- ✅ `TestNewProxyCmd_TrustedBotsAndUsersDefaultNil` — `--trusted-bots`
and `--trusted-users` default to empty
- ✅ `TestNewProxyCmd_LogDirDefault` — `--log-dir` matches
`getDefaultLogDir()`
- ✅ `TestNewProxyCmd_ListenFlag` — default value `127.0.0.1:8080` and
`-l` shorthand
- ✅ `TestNewProxyCmd_IsAddedToRootCmd` — proxy subcommand is registered
on `rootCmd`

### Coverage Report

```
Before: ~0% coverage (only clientAddr was tested)
After:  newProxyCmd and detectGuardWasm fully covered by unit tests
        (runProxy excluded — requires real network/server startup)
```

### Notes

- `runProxy` is intentionally excluded: it starts real network listeners
and requires OS signals; it is better covered by integration tests
- The `detectGuardWasm_FileExists` test gracefully skips in CI (cannot
create `/guards/github/`) and activates automatically in the production
container image
