Fixed false failures for private GitHub repos without a token by changing 404 handling.

Full changelog

web-check --online: a 404 without a token is now web_unverifiable, not web_not_found.
GitHub returns 404 (not 403) for a private repo the caller can't see — indistinguishable from a
moved/deleted file. Classifying every 404 as a break made a tokenless run (dev machine, CI, or a
git hook without the PAT) false-fail on every private cross-repo link (the real "false breaks" that
blocked pushes across sessions). Now gated on token presence:
- with a token → web_not_found (trustworthy → fail-closed, exit 4);
- without a token → web_unverifiable (ambiguous → does not fail, exit 0).
  This is the "fail-closed only when there is a token" contract. Pairs with the recipe reading
  $GITHUB_TOKEN from a RO PAT file (0.14.0) and the transient-retry fix (0.15.0).
