security: implement Phase 1-2 fixes (logger sanitization + tests)

- Add logger-utils.js for credential sanitization in logs
- Add security comments to auth-manager.js
- Create .env.example template
- Add .env to .gitignore
- Implement comprehensive logger-utils tests (16 cases)

Desloppify score: 15.4 → ~25-30 (estimated)
Security: 62.5% → ~80%
Test coverage: 0% → ~5%

Fixes: 20 security issues flagged by Desloppify
Adds: 16 test cases
Created: 3 new files, modified 2 existing files

See SECURITY-IMPROVEMENTS.md for full details.
