feat: implement security enhancements (task 17)

- Add rate limiting for login, registration, and invitations - Implement CSRF protection with SameSite cookies and security headers - Configure secure session cookies with httpOnly and secure flags - Enhance input sanitization for XSS and injection prevention - Add comprehensive security tests (41 tests passing) - Document security enhancements in SECURITY_ENHANCEMENTS.md Requirements: 9.3, 9.4, 9.5
