Security: sanitize exceptions, add test suite, add CI gates

- Fix credential leak: _get() now catches urllib exceptions and re-raises
  with safe static messages (prevents password/API key exposure in URL
  query params on network errors)
- Add tests/test_security.py: 6 security tests per MCP Security Framework v1.0
- Update publish.yml: security job (pytest + pip-audit + grep checks) must
  pass before PyPI publish
