Hardening: API request handling, random IDs, and plugin loading (#7906)
* Hardening: API request handling, token generation, and plugin loading

- pad_utils.randomString: generate the random IDs via crypto.getRandomValues
  (CSPRNG) instead of Math.random.
- OAuth2Provider: constant-time password comparison and a uniform failure delay
  on the OIDC interaction login; own-property user lookup.
- API.appendChatMessage: require the pad to already exist (getPadSafe),
  consistent with the other content API methods.
- RestAPI /api/2: forward only the authorization header rather than merging all
  request headers into the API field set.
- LinkInstaller: validate plugin dependency names before building filesystem
  paths from them.
- admin file server: return a generic error message and log details server-side.

* Address review: timingSafeEqual on raw bytes; align /api/2 auth fallback

- OAuth2Provider.constantTimeEquals: compare raw UTF-8 bytes with
  crypto.timingSafeEqual instead of hashing them first. Resolves the CodeQL
  "password hash with insufficient computational effort" alert while keeping a
  content-independent comparison (length difference is covered by the uniform
  failure delay).
- RestAPI /api/2: fall back to the authorization header whenever the field is
  falsy (not only null), matching the openapi.ts handler so the two routers
  authenticate identically (Qodo).

* appendChatMessage: throw explicit error instead of getPadSafe (review)

Per review: replace the getPadSafe(padID, true) existence check with an
explicit `throw new CustomError('padID does not exist', 'apierror')` so chat
messages can't create pads, without fetching the pad.
