Hermes 2d68197272 security: Fix path traversal and add SSL verification hardening
Addresses audit findings S002 (Path Traversal) and S004 (SSL Verification):

S002 - Path Traversal Vulnerabilities (CWE-22):
- Created src/shared/security_utils.py with centralized security functions:
  * validate_path_within_root() - Ensures paths stay within allowed directories
  * safe_join_path() - Safe path joining with traversal detection
  * sanitize_filename() - Removes dangerous characters from filenames
  * validate_plugin_path() - Specialized validation for plugin loading
  * validate_download_path() - URL validation before downloads
  * safe_extract_archive() - Prevents zip slip attacks during extraction

- Hardened updater.py:
  * Added path validation in UpdateDownloadThread.run() (lines ~74-120)
  * Added path validation in install_update() (lines ~394-403)
  * Sanitized filenames from download URLs
  * Switched to safe_extract_archive() for archive handling

- Hardened plugin_manager.py:
  * Added plugin path validation in reload_plugins() (lines ~101-127)
  * Added URL and archive validation in install_plugin_from_url() (lines ~330-368)
  * Integrated safe_extract_archive() to prevent zip slip attacks

S004 - SSL Certificate Verification:
- Added explicit verify=True to requests.get() calls (updater.py line ~92)
- Documented that certifi provides CA bundle for SSL verification
- Verified urllib3/requests use certifi by default

Test Coverage:
- tests/unit/test_security_utils.py: 28 new tests covering all security functions
  * Path traversal prevention tests
  * Filename sanitization tests
  * URL validation tests
  * Archive extraction security tests
