feat(browser): add URL validation and DOM sanitization utilities

Browse Source 
Add security.py with validate_url() and sanitize_dom_text() functions
to mitigate SSRF and prompt injection risks in browser automation.

- validate_url(): Blocks dangerous schemes (file://, javascript://, data://)
- sanitize_dom_text(): Flags suspicious prompt injection patterns
- Configurable via CLI_ANYTHING_BROWSER_BLOCK_PRIVATE and
  CLI_ANYTHING_BROWSER_ALLOWED_SCHEMES environment variables

This addresses security concerns raised by Ilhan Goktas during
peer review of PR #118 (DOMShell MCP browser automation).

"""Security utilities for browser automation.
This module provides security functions for the DOMShell MCP browser harness,
including URL validation, DOM content sanitization, and attack surface mitigation.
Threat Model:
- SSRF: Browser can access arbitrary URLs including localhost/private networks
- DOM-based prompt injection: Malicious ARIA labels can manipulate agent behavior
- Scheme injection: javascript:, file:, data: URLs can execute code locally
