Apply security remediations for FRE-4498 (FRE-4612)

Security findings from April 30 review were claimed fixed but never committed.
Applied all remediations:

HIGH:
- WebhookHandler: fail fast when DARKWATCH_WEBHOOK_SECRET missing instead of defaulting to hardcoded secret
- field-encryption.service: require PII_ENCRYPTION_KEY at startup instead of defaulting

MEDIUM:
- WebhookHandler: make signature required (was optional, accepted unsigned events)
- WebhookHandler: reject unknown event types instead of silently defaulting to SCAN_TRIGGER
- scheduler.routes + webhook.routes: add ownership checks on /:userId endpoints (IDOR)

LOW:
- webhook.routes: generic error responses, full error logged server-side
