security: military-grade archive hardening with extension allowlist

- Replace BINARY_EXTENSIONS blocklist with CODE_EXTENSIONS allowlist
(70+ recognized code/config/doc extensions; unknown types auto-rejected)
- Extension-less files (Makefile, Dockerfile) allowed as special case
- System prompt hardened with explicit static-analysis-only framing
- System prompt now declares format A (single file) vs B (project dir)
- Frontend: .zip added to single-file accept attribute
- Frontend: HTTP 413 gets dedicated user-friendly error message
explaining zip-bomb defense limit with remediation guidance
- Tests expanded: allowlist verification, unknown extensions, Makefile
