[WIP] Update mock server startup to use new FFI transport method

[Copilot]

• Update internal/native/mock_server.go Start() to use pactffi_create_mock_server_for_transport instead of deprecated pactffi_create_mock_server_for_pact
  • For HTTP: delegates directly to StartTransport("http", ...)
  • For HTTPS: starts a plain-HTTP pact mock server via StartTransport, then wraps it with a Go TLS termination proxy using a self-signed ECDSA cert
• Add tlsProxyServer struct and pactMockPort() helper so CleanupMockServer, MockServerMismatchedRequests, and WritePactFile transparently route to the underlying HTTP mock server port
• Add newTLSProxy() and generateTLSCert() helper functions
• Fix error handling: log errors from server.Close() and srv.Serve() in TLS proxy
• Add TestHandleBasedHTTPTestsTLS regression test that verifies HTTPS connections work end-to-end
• All native tests pass (TestHandleBasedHTTPTests, TestHandleBasedHTTPTestsTLS, TestMockServer_*)
• Consumer TLS tests pass (TestConsumerV2AllInOne, TestConsumerV3)

Original prompt

Update PR #573 in repository pact-foundation/pact-go to ensure all pathways to starting a mock server use the new FFI transport-based method instead of deprecated startup paths.

Context:

• The repository currently has consumer tests configured with TLS: true, and tests build HTTPS requests using the provided TLS config.
• The current startup path for HTTP consumer mock servers goes through internal/native/mock_server.go Start(address string, tls bool) which still calls the deprecated FFI function pactffi_create_mock_server_for_pact(...).
• The bundled header internal/native/pact.h marks that function as deprecated and says it has been replaced by pactffi_create_mock_server_for_transport(...), where transport should be things like http, https, or grpc.
• There is already a StartTransport(...) method in internal/native/mock_server.go and a parallel one in internal/native/message_server.go.
• The observed failure mode is that tests configured for TLS appear to get an HTTP listener instead of HTTPS, causing errors like http: server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client, with mock server metrics showing zero requests.

Requested change:

• Update this PR so that all server startup pathways use the new transport-based FFI method.
• In particular, update the HTTP mock server startup path currently implemented by internal/native/mock_server.go Start(...) so it uses pactffi_create_mock_server_for_transport(...) indirectly or directly, selecting https when TLS is enabled and http otherwise.
• Audit other startup paths in the PR branch to ensure there are no remaining uses of deprecated server-start FFI methods for mock server startup, and migrate them as appropriate.
• Preserve existing public APIs if possible.
• Ensure error handling remains correct and compatible with the new transport-based startup call.
• Add or update regression tests to cover both TLS-enabled and non-TLS startup behavior where practical.

Relevant files to inspect:

• internal/native/mock_server.go
• internal/native/message_server.go
• consumer/http.go
• any tests covering mock server startup or TLS behavior

Goal:

• The PR should continue its existing work, but additionally guarantee that all ways of starting a server in pact-go now go through the new transport-based FFI startup API.
