security: fix path traversal vulnerability (CVSS 9.1)

Add comprehensive path traversal detection and validation to prevent
unauthorized file access outside working directories.

Changes:
- tools/file_operations.py: Add _validate_safe_path(), _contains_path_traversal()
- Validate all paths in read_file(), write_file() before processing
- Detect patterns: ../, ..\, URL-encoded, null bytes, control chars

Fixes CWE-22: Path Traversal vulnerability where malicious paths like
../../../etc/shadow could access sensitive files.

CVSS: 9.1 (Critical)
