test: add comprehensive tests for edge cases and security requirements

Added 7 new test cases addressing PR review feedback:

Security Tests:
- test_save_identity_sets_restrictive_permissions: Verify 0600 file permissions
- test_load_corrupted_identity_raises_error: Validate error handling for invalid data
- test_load_truncated_file_raises_error: Handle interrupted writes
- test_load_empty_file_raises_error: Reject empty files

Functionality Tests:
- test_save_and_load_rsa_identity: Verify RSA key support via protobuf
- test_overwrite_existing_identity: Ensure file overwrites work correctly
- test_save_identity_creates_parent_directories: Auto-create nested paths

All tests pass. Addresses review feedback from yashksaini-coder and main reviewer.
