RustFS: Missing admin authorization on /rustfs/admin/v3/metrics allows any authenticated user to read server metrics

RustFS is a distributed object storage system built in Rust. In 1.0.0-beta.7 and earlier, the real-time metrics endpoint at /rustfs/admin/v3/metrics is accessible to any valid IAM user regardless of their assigned policy. Every other admin handler in the codebase calls validate_admin_request to enforce admin-action IAM checks; the MetricsHandler skips this call entirely. A restricted IAM user whose policy grants only access to their own bucket can read server-wide operational metrics including disk I/O statistics, network throughput, scanner cycle timing, and cluster RPC state.
