fix(secrets): keep credentials out of the client's own debug log

`log_request` logs any JSON body verbatim at debug, and Python and Node both
wire that logger to `LANCEDB_LOG`. `create_secret` posts the value in its body,
so ordinary SDK debug logging wrote the credential to application logs. The
comment on `write_secret` reasoned correctly about proxy traces and access logs
and missed the logger in this process.

Redaction cannot live in the value model: the logger sees the serialized body,
where the credential is already plaintext bytes. So bodies are suppressed for
the route instead, matched on the `secrets` path segment rather than a
versioned prefix, so a verb added under that namespace later is covered without
an edit here.

The same debug line prints the request's Debug, which prints headers, so the
API key was in every debug line of every request regardless of route. Marking
the header value sensitive is what stops that.

The end-to-end regression fails without this: the log carried
`,"value":"SECRET_VALUE_SENTINEL"}` verbatim.
