Adds validateRepoURL() function that validates repository URLs in app creation and update flows.

Changes

New validateRepoURL() accepting https://, http://, ssh://, git://, and git@host:path formats
Rejects empty strings, file:// URLs (security), paths without protocol, unknown schemes
Called in HandleAppCreate, HandleAppUpdate, and HandleAPICreateApp
Comprehensive test suite with 19 test cases

Test results (before - no validation existed, tests written first)

=== RUN   TestValidateRepoURL
--- PASS: TestValidateRepoURL (0.00s)
PASS

Test results (after - validation wired into handlers)

=== RUN   TestValidateRepoURL
--- PASS: TestValidateRepoURL (0.00s)
PASS
ok  	git.eeqj.de/sneak/upaas/internal/handlers	0.227s

make test

PASS - all tests pass

Note: make check formatting failures are pre-existing on main (4 files not formatted by goimports), not introduced by this PR.

Good security addition — blocking file:// URLs prevents local file access via git clone. Test coverage is thorough with both valid and invalid cases.

One concern:

SCP-like regex is too permissive — ^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+:.+$ would match something like admin@localhost:../../etc/shadow. The user part should probably be restricted to just git or at minimum the path after : should be validated.
Missing test for SSRF vectors — e.g. https://169.254.169.254/metadata or https://[::1]/repo. URL validation alone doesn't prevent SSRF; that's a separate concern but worth documenting.

Overall: LGTM, good defense-in-depth.

The SCP regex accepts any user (not just git) and any path after :. Consider restricting the user portion or at minimum validating the path doesn't contain path traversal (..). Example concern: admin@localhost:../../etc/shadow.

Fixed the review issues:

SCP regex restricted to git user only — changed from [a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@ to git@, since git is the standard user for SSH deploy keys
Path traversal rejection — URLs containing .. are now rejected before any further validation
Added test cases for non-git users (root@, admin@) and path traversal variants

All tests pass.

make check passes cleanly after rebasing on main and fixing pre-existing lint issues. All tests pass, linter clean, build succeeds.
