feat: implement comprehensive TCP jailing with host-side PREROUTING (#10)

* feat: implement comprehensive TCP jailing with host-side PREROUTING

Replaced port-specific OUTPUT rules with comprehensive TCP interception
using host-side PREROUTING rules. This closes all potential bypass routes
for applications using non-standard ports.

Key Changes:

## Traffic Interception Strategy
- **Before**: Namespace OUTPUT rules for ports 80 and 443 only
- **After**: Host PREROUTING rules for ALL TCP traffic from namespace

## Security Improvements
- ✅ Blocks ALL TCP traffic (not just HTTP/HTTPS)
- ✅ Prevents bypass via custom ports (8080, 3306, 22, etc.)
- ✅ Ensures complete network isolation
- ✅ Provides comprehensive audit trail

## Technical Implementation
- Added vethHost field to Linux struct for interface tracking
- Changed from namespace 'ip netns exec iptables OUTPUT' rules
- To host 'iptables PREROUTING -i veth_interface' rules
- All TCP traffic redirected to HTTPS proxy port for handling

## Bypass Prevention
Applications can no longer escape jail by using:
- HTTP on non-standard ports (8080, 3000, etc.)
- Database connections (3306, 5432, 27017)
- SSH connections (22)
- Custom API ports
- Any other TCP-based protocols

This provides true network jailing instead of just HTTP/HTTPS proxying.

Tested: Build succeeds, all tests pass.

* feat: implement comprehensive TCP jailing for macOS

Extended the comprehensive TCP jailing approach to macOS using PF rules.
Replaced port-specific rules (80, 443) with comprehensive TCP interception
to prevent bypass via non-standard ports.

## macOS Security Improvements
- **Before**: Only HTTP (80) and HTTPS (443) intercepted
- **After**: ALL TCP traffic from jailed group intercepted

## Key Changes
- Removed port-specific PF rules (port 80, port 443)
- Added comprehensive TCP redirection for all ports
- Routes ALL TCP traffic to HTTPS proxy port
- Prevents bypass via database ports, SSH, custom APIs, etc.

## Bypass Prevention (macOS)
Applications can no longer escape jail by using:
- HTTP on non-standard ports (8080, 3000, etc.)
- Database connections (3306, 5432, 27017)
- SSH connections (22)
- Custom API ports
- Any TCP-based protocol on any port

This ensures both Linux and macOS provide identical comprehensive
network jailing capabilities.

Tested: Build succeeds, all tests pass.

* fix: resolve certificate manager and environment handling issues

Fixed two critical runtime issues:

## Certificate Manager Fix
- NewCertificateManager now auto-determines config directory when empty string passed
- Resolves 'mkdir : no such file or directory' error
- CLI passes empty configDir expecting internal determination

## Environment Handling Fix
- Initialize preparedEnv map in constructors (newLinux, newMacOSJail)
- Prevents 'assignment to entry in nil map' panic
- SetEnv can now be called before Open() safely
- Simplified environment preservation logic

## Technical Details
- preparedEnv map now created in constructors
- Open() respects existing SetEnv values (doesn't overwrite)
- Cleaner, simpler code without complex preservation logic

Tested: Build succeeds, certificate errors resolved, ready for jail testing.
