feat: add dedup layer (INV-CF-1) to scrape_batch + field filter to search_engine_batch

SECURITY FIXES:
- Add prototype pollution protection in filterFields()
- Block __proto__, constructor, prototype properties
- Sanitize error messages to prevent information disclosure
- No hardcoded API keys in any file

FUNCTIONALITY:
- Add deduplication layer to scrape_batch tool
- Add field filtering to search_engine_batch tool
- Remove duplicate content blocks across URLs
- Include metrics option for dedup stats

TEST FILES:
- test_context_cache.js: 9 tests
- test_dedup_edge_cases.js: 8 tests
- test_filter_fields.js: 20 tests

Total: 37 tests passing
