Add gosec to CI; fix the one real finding it surfaced

Part of the same security-hardening pass as the last two commits. make
lint was go vet only; govulncheck and gitleaks already scanned deps and
secrets on every push, but nothing read this repo's own source for
risky patterns (weak crypto, injection shapes, insecure cookies, ...).

New `make security-code` runs gosec, wired into ci.yaml's security job
alongside the other two. G104 (unchecked error) is excluded at the
Makefile level: every one of its 41 initial hits was this codebase's
existing, deliberate idiom for a best-effort write or an already-
reviewed json.Unmarshal of its own JSONB, predating gosec, and the rule
cannot tell that apart from a mistake -- seventeen individual #nosec
comments would hide a future real G104 regression in the suppression
noise rather than surface it. Reasoning is on the Makefile target.

Of the 12 remaining hits:
  - Genuinely real: oidc.go's callback logged error_description (and,
    two call sites down, identity.Subject) via %s before the request's
    state was even checked against its cookie -- an attacker-reachable
    value going into the log unquoted. Switched to %q, matching
    identity.Username's existing treatment, so a value holding a
    newline can't forge a second log line.
  - False positives, annotated inline rather than globally suppressed:
    4x G124 on cookies that already set Secure via cookieSecure(...)
    (a function call, not the literal `true` the rule wants), 3x G202
    on sqlArgs-built queries that only ever splice in a "$N"
    placeholder, never a value, and the remaining 5x G706 on log lines
    that were already %q-quoted -- gosec's taint analysis doesn't
    model format verbs, so it flags the tainted argument regardless.

Also fixed handleMe's swallowed Scan error (gosec's catch, pre-fix):
a transient DB error left hash/dismissed at their zero values and the
response claimed no password and no onboarding dismissal regardless
of the truth, rather than surfacing a 500.

Checked both workflow files for the injection class letsvisit found
there (a `${{ }}` expression spliced straight into a `run:` block):
every one here already goes through `env:` as a quoted shell variable,
documented in ci.yaml's own header comment. Nothing to fix.
