🔒 SECURITY: Fix critical SQL injection and CORS vulnerabilities

CRITICAL FIXES:
- Fixed SQL injection vulnerability in document deletion endpoint
  - Changed PostgreSQL-style (%s) to SQLite-style (?) placeholders
  - Updated JSON operator from metadata->>'filename' to json_extract()
  - Affected lines: server.py:666, 679

- Fixed CORS security risk (allow_origins=["*"])
  - Restricted to configurable whitelist via ALLOWED_ORIGINS env var
  - Default: localhost:5173,8051 for development
  - Production: Set to specific domains only

- Added rate limiting to prevent DoS attacks
  - Implemented slowapi for per-IP rate limiting
  - Chat endpoint: 20 requests/minute per IP
  - Prevents resource exhaustion

Security impact: CRITICAL → SECURE
