fix: bound threat-pattern/FTS5 regex input and cover V4A Move-File edits

Salvaged from PR #35130 (the safe subset of jnibarger01's security pass):

- threat_patterns.py: replace unbounded (?:\w+\s+)* filler with bounded
  {0,8} + cap scan input at MAX_SCAN_CHARS (64KiB), and bound the .*
  runs in the exfil/config-mod patterns. Kills catastrophic backtracking
  on adversarial near-misses.
- hermes_state.py: cap FTS5 query length (MAX_FTS5_QUERY_CHARS) and
  extract quoted phrases with a linear scan instead of a regex so
  pathological quote runs can't induce backtracking.
- acp_adapter/edit_approval.py + agent/tool_dispatch_helpers.py: recognize
  '*** Move File: src -> dst' V4A headers so patch-mode edits are
  permissioned/traversal-checked (previously only Update/Add/Delete), and
  surface a proposal for mode=patch V4A calls (previously replace-only).

Tests: +ReDoS-bound + FTS5-cap + Move-File-target + V4A-approval cases.
