fix(security): phase 4 code quality and low-severity fixes

- Fix limitStr to handle multi-byte UTF-8 characters correctly
- Sanitize log messages: strip ANSI escape sequences and newlines
- URL-encode probe node_id instead of string concatenation
- Fix follower resp.Body leak on non-200 responses
- Make SSH host key path configurable via UPTOP_SSH_HOST_KEY env var
- Add HTTP method checks on GET-only endpoints (405 for wrong methods)
- Extract magic numbers into named constants across monitor/store/server
- Standardize error output to stderr for all startup errors
