fix(backend): harden SQL query block against injection, SSRF bypass, and precision loss

- Replace regex-based SQL validation with sqlparse tokenizer to prevent
  multi-statement injection via quoted comment bypass (e.g. SET LOCAL
  statement_timeout = 0). Keywords in string literals no longer cause
  false positives.
- Replace urlparse with psycopg2.extensions.parse_dsn for SSRF protection,
  handling both URI and libpq DSN formats. Reject missing hostname and
  Unix socket paths.
- Use server-side named cursor to enforce max_rows at the database level
  instead of fetching entire result set into client memory.
- Serialize fractional Decimal values as str instead of float to preserve
  exact precision for analytics data.
- Add sqlparse dependency.
- Add tests for multi-statement injection, string literal keywords, and
  high-precision Decimal serialization.
