security: Fix HIGH priority security issues

Implemented comprehensive security fixes for v2.1 release:

## HIGH PRIORITY FIXES ✅

### H1. Path Traversal Protection
- Created security-utils.js with sanitizePath() function
- Validates paths against user home/downloads directories
- Prevents ../ directory traversal attacks
- Resolves paths to absolute form before validation
- Applied to all download save paths

### H2. Cookie File Validation
- Comprehensive validateCookieFile() function
- Checks file existence, type, size, extension
- Validates Netscape cookie format
- Max file size: 1MB, prevents arbitrary file reads
- Applied to all cookie file operations

## MEDIUM PRIORITY FIXES ✅

### M1. Electron Version Update
- Updated from 33.0.0 → 38.2.1
- Fixes ASAR bypass vulnerability
- npm audit shows 0 vulnerabilities

Files Added:
- src/security-utils.js - Security utility module with:
  * sanitizePath() - Path traversal protection
  * validateCookieFile() - Cookie file validation
  * sanitizeFilename() - Filename sanitization
  * isValidVideoUrl() - URL validation

Files Modified:
- src/main.js - Applied security functions to:
  * select-cookie-file handler (line 154-158)
  * get-video-metadata handler (line 1100-1108)
  * get-batch-video-metadata handler (line 1216-1223)
  * downloadWithYtDlp function (line 792-820)
- package.json - Electron 38.2.1
- package-lock.json - Updated dependencies

Testing:
✅ All 259 tests passing
✅ No regressions detected
✅ Cookie file validation tested
✅ Path sanitization verified

Security Impact:
- Prevents malicious path injection
- Blocks arbitrary file reading
- Eliminates known Electron CVE
- Validates all user file inputs

Remaining:
- M2: Reduce production logging (102+ console.log)
- M3: FFmpeg parameter whitelist
- M4: URL validation enhancement
- M5: Clipboard monitoring consent
