HTML export URL sanitization against stored XSS

What Changed

Implemented sanitizeMarkdownUrl() function that strips C0 control characters (0x00-0x1F, 0x7F) from URLs and uses allow-list of permitted protocols (https, http, mailto, tel, ftp) instead of blacklisting dangerous ones. Applied to both link and image renderers in HTML exports.

Operator Implication

Eliminates stored XSS vulnerability in exported HTML sessions by preventing protocol evasion techniques using control characters or unlisted schemes.
