create_task.py: migrate REST /api/v2.0 -> midclt (removed in TrueNAS 26.04)

The tool created cloud_backup tasks via POST /api/v2.0/cloud_backup, which is deprecated
and removed in TrueNAS 26.04. It now calls the middleware directly with midclt
(cloudsync.credentials.query / cloud_backup.query / cloud_backup.create), so it runs on
the TrueNAS host with no host address or API key. --host/--api-key/--insecure are kept
accepted-but-ignored for compatibility. Dropped the ssl/urllib HTTP client. v0.2.0.

## Creating a task via CLI
If the UI still shows only Storj after refreshing (e.g. the JS bundle pattern
changed in a new TrueNAS version), create tasks directly via the REST API:
changed in a new TrueNAS version), create tasks directly. Run this **on the
TrueNAS host** — it talks to the local middleware via `midclt`, so it needs no
host address or API key:
```bash

**`create_task.py` SSL error connecting to TrueNAS**
`create_task.py` talks to the **TrueNAS API**, not your S3 endpoint, and
verifies its TLS certificate. If your NAS uses a self-signed certificate,
pass `--insecure` — but be aware this disables certificate verification for
the API call that transmits your TrueNAS API key. Adding your NAS certificate
to your system's trust store is safer.
**`create_task.py` — "midclt not found" or permission errors**
`create_task.py` now talks to the local middleware via `midclt`, so run it **on
the TrueNAS host** (not remotely) as a user with middleware access (root). There
is no HTTPS/API-key call anymore, so there is no TLS certificate to configure.
