SECURITY FIX: Replace fragile XSS regex with DOMPurify sanitization

✅ RESOLVED CODEQL SECURITY ALERT:
- Fixed 'Bad HTML filtering regexp' high severity security issue
- Replaced fragile custom regular expressions with DOMPurify sanitization
- Removed 24 insecure regex patterns that could be bypassed
- Implemented robust XSS detection using DOMPurify comparison

✅ IMPROVED SECURITY:
- Uses DOMPurify.sanitize() with strict configuration (no allowed tags/attributes)
- Compares sanitized output with original input to detect dangerous content
- More reliable than regex-based pattern matching
- Prevents XSS bypass techniques that could evade regex patterns

✅ IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS:
- Replaced validateXssInput method in lib/security/input-validation.ts
- Uses existing DOMPurify instance (no new dependencies)
- Maintains same API and return format
- Build passes successfully with 142/142 pages generated

✅ SECURITY BENEFITS:
- Eliminates regex bypass vulnerabilities
- Uses industry-standard HTML sanitization library
- More comprehensive XSS protection
- Follows security best practices for input validation
