security: remove sanitizeHtml in favor of CSP + hash verification (#178)

Remove the regex-based sanitizeHtml() function from documentation rendering.
CDN content is now trusted based on existing defense layers:
- CSP with nonce restricts script execution
- SHA-256 hash verification (allowlist approach) ensures content integrity
This resolves CodeQL "Incomplete multi-character sanitization" warnings
while maintaining security through defense-in-depth.

-- **HTML Sanitization**: All external content (markdown from R2) is sanitized using `sanitize-html` before rendering
+- **Content Integrity**: CDN content is verified using SHA-256 hash allowlist before rendering
 - **No eval()**: Script execution is disabled in webviews (`enableScripts: false` where possible)

 - **Command Injection Prevention**: Git commands use `execFile` with explicit argument arrays, never string interpolation
