Harden archive / WebDAV / FTP ingest paths

WebDAV PROPFIND parsing moves to defusedxml (added as a first-class dep in
stable.toml, dev.toml, and the pinned requirement files). Archive extraction
gets the tarfile data_filter on 3.12+, per-member containment checks, and
nosec annotations on the extractall / tarfile.open call sites now that each
entry is validated up front. The plaintext FTP path is tagged nosec B321
since it is strictly opt-in via tls=False.
