Fix critical P0 security and crash issues in API/WebSocket layer

This commit addresses 5 critical P0 bugs that cause security vulnerabilities, crashes, and data corruption:

**P0-1: Recovery Tokens Replay Attack Vulnerability** (recovery_tokens.go:153-159)
- **SECURITY CRITICAL**: Single-use recovery tokens could be replayed
- **Problem**: Lock upgrade race - two concurrent requests both pass initial Used check
  1. Both acquire RLock, see token.Used = false
  2. Both release RLock
  3. Both acquire Lock and mark token.Used = true
  4. Both return true - TOKEN REUSED
- **Impact**: Attacker with intercepted token can use it multiple times
- **Fix**: Re-check token.Used after acquiring write lock (TOCTOU prevention)

**P0-2: WebSocket Hub Concurrent Map Panic** (hub.go:345-347, 376-378)
- **Problem**: Initial state goroutine reads h.clients map without lock
  - Line 345: `if _, ok := h.clients[client]` (NO LOCK)
  - Main loop writes to h.clients with lock (line 326, 394)
- **Impact**: "fatal error: concurrent map read and write" crashes hub
- **Fix**: Acquire RLock before all client map reads in goroutine

**P0-3: WebSocket Send on Closed Channel Panic** (hub.go:348, 380)
- **Problem**: Check client exists, then send - channel can close between
- **Impact**: "send on closed channel" panic crashes hub
- **Fix**: Hold RLock during both check and send (defensive select already present)

**P0-4: CSRF Store Shutdown Data Corruption** (csrf_store.go:189-196)
- **Problem**: Stop() calls save() after signaling worker. Both hold only RLock
  - Worker's final save writes to csrf_tokens.json.tmp
  - Stop()'s save writes to same file concurrently
- **Impact**: Corrupted/truncated csrf_tokens.json on shutdown
- **Fix**: Added saveMu mutex to serialize all disk writes

**P0-5: CSRF Store Deadlock on Double-Stop** (csrf_store.go:103-108)
- **Problem**: stopChan unbuffered, no sync.Once guard, uses send not close
- **Impact**: Second Stop() call blocks forever waiting for receiver
- **Fix**:
  - Added sync.Once field stopOnce
  - Changed to close(stopChan) within stopOnce.Do()
  - Prevents double-close panic and deadlock

All fixes maintain backwards compatibility. The recovery token fix is particularly critical as it closes a security vulnerability allowing replay attacks on password reset flows.
