feat(middleware): configure CORS from settings in middleware chain

Replace Cors::new() with Cors::from(value.settings.cors.clone()) in the
From<Application> for RunnableApplication implementation to use CORS
settings from configuration instead of hardcoded defaults.

Changes:
- Use From<CorsSettings> for Cors trait to build CORS middleware
- Add unit test verifying CORS middleware uses settings
- Maintain correct middleware order: RateLimit → CORS → Data

-- [ ] **T015** [Setup] [TDD] Replace Cors::new() with build_cors() in middleware chain
