Submit #797099: go-kratos kratos 2.9.2 Unintended Route Exposure via DefaultServeMux Fallbackinfo

Titlego-kratos kratos 2.9.2 Unintended Route Exposure via DefaultServeMux Fallback
DescriptionThe Kratos HTTP server (`transport/http/server.go`) sets `http.DefaultServeMux` as the fallback handler for both unmatched routes (`NotFoundHandler`) and disallowed methods (`MethodNotAllowedHandler`). In Go, `http.DefaultServeMux` is a global, shared ServeMux instance. Numerous standard library and third-party packages automatically register handlers on it during `init()`. The most notable example is `net/http/pprof`, which registers debug profiling endpoints. Kratos itself ships a pprof wrapper package (`transport/http/pprof`) that imports `net/http/pprof`.
