Whitelist api.{apex} as a shared public host

api.{apex} is the client's primary API host, served by path
dispatch across every service. It belonged to no route group's
HostSubdomains, so it was absent from PublicSubdomains and thus
from the monolith's HostFiltering AllowedHosts — every request to
api.{apex} was rejected with 400 "Bad Request - Invalid Hostname".

Append "api" alongside admin/feed so it is whitelisted while
remaining path-routed (it owns no service by host).
