🐛 Fix SNS signature verification issues

Address code review findings:

- Restrict URL validation to sns.<region>.amazonaws.com only
  (prevents attacker-controlled S3 buckets from being accepted)
- Add support for SignatureVersion 2 (SHA256withRSA)
- Fix resource leak by wrapping certificate stream in with-open
- Return proper HTTP status codes (4xx for invalid messages,
  5xx for transient failures)
- Add comprehensive tests for URL validation, signature versions,
  and HTTP response codes

Closes #11092
