Add --dbip CLI flag to auto-download/update the DB-IP MMDB database.

Downloads the latest dbip-city-lite-YYYY-MM.mmdb.gz before starting the
server, skipping when the local database is current, falling back to the
previous month on 404, and removing older databases after an update.
Promotes httpx to a runtime dependency.
