P2 Badge Preserve explicit URL handling for localhost profiles

Returning 'local' for :localhost makes ProfileManager.addProfile() treat @user:localhost as a known environment, so the non-interactive path (boxel profile add -u ... -p ...) no longer requires explicit URLs and silently falls back to the staging defaults (https://matrix-staging.stack.cards and https://realms-staging.stack.cards/). In practice, local profiles created this way point to staging endpoints and break local auth/workflows; addProfile needs a local default branch (or localhost should remain unknown until that branch exists).
