fix(P03): txn apply path allowlist (REQ-121, F5)

---ci---
project: orca
phase: 3
milestone: v0.12
status: execute
---/ci---

apply.sh python heredoc now validates every path in desired-state.json
against a prefix allowlist (/etc/orca/, /etc/traefik/orca*,
/etc/systemd/system/orca-*, /etc/nftables.d/orca*, /etc/syncthing/orca*).
Rejects with exit 7 on mismatch. Also rejects .. traversal and relative
paths. HMAC-signed manifest unchanged. 8 regression tests including
/etc/orca/../../shadow traversal attempt.
