feat(security): URL query param + userinfo + form body redaction

Port from nearai/ironclaw#2529.

Hermes already has broad value-shape coverage in agent/redact.py
(30+ vendor prefixes, JWTs, DB connstrs, etc.) but missed three
key-name-based patterns that catch opaque tokens without recognizable
prefixes:

1. URL query params - OAuth callback codes (?code=...),
   access_token, refresh_token, signature, etc. These are opaque and
   won't match any prefix regex. Now redacted by parameter NAME.

2. URL userinfo (https://user:pass@host) - for non-DB schemes. DB
   schemes were already handled by _DB_CONNSTR_RE.

3. Form-urlencoded body (k=v pairs joined by ampersands) -
   conservative, only triggers on clean pure-form inputs with no
   other text.

Sensitive key allowlist matches ironclaw's (exact case-insensitive,
NOT substring - so token_count and session_id pass through).

Tests: +20 new test cases across 3 test classes. All 75 redact tests
pass; gateway/test_pii_redaction and tools/test_browser_secret_exfil
also green.

Known pre-existing limitation: _ENV_ASSIGN_RE greedy match swallows
whole all-caps ENV-style names + trailing text when followed by
another assignment. Left untouched here (out of scope); URL query
redaction handles the lowercase case.
