danielhanchen fbb030b019 Studio sandbox: close second-round review bypasses (classifier + backstop)
Fixes a further batch of P1 bypasses and analysis-time DoS vectors found in review.

Static classifier:
- Decode exec/compile bytes payloads the way CPython does (PEP 263 coding cookie
  via tokenize.detect_encoding), then analyze the real source. A bytes payload whose
  UTF-8 view is pure comments but whose utf-7 decode runs hidden code no longer slips
  through; a payload decoding to a blocked op blocks, a benign one stays allowed.
- Resolve exec-builtin aliases assigned in nested scopes (def f(): e = exec; e(...)),
  matching the shell-sink aliasing (stored-once guard keeps it low false-positive).
- Treat deserializer modules (pickle/marshal/dill/...) as dangerous dynamic-import
  targets so __import__('pickle').loads(blob) is caught.
- Flag vars(os) / vars(__builtins__) as a module-__dict__ obfuscation, like os.__dict__.
- Inspect the pathlib receiver path for read methods: Path('../../.ssh/id_rsa').read_text()
  / read_bytes() / open() now check the constructor path, not only call args.
- Fold literal os.path.join / posixpath.join so open(os.path.join('/etc','passwd')).read()
  is seen by the sensitive-read scanner instead of treated as opaque.

Constant-folder allocation DoS (folding runs in-process, before subprocess rlimits):
- Reject oversized f-string / str.format / %-format widths and precisions before
  format() allocates the padded string.
- Reject oversized str padding-method widths (ljust/rjust/center/zfill).
- Cap list/tuple repetition (seq * n) as str/bytes repetition already was.

Runtime realpath backstop:
- Do not publish __wrapped__ on the guard wrappers (functools.wraps would expose the
  original unguarded callable, e.g. open.__wrapped__(outside, 'w')).
- Guard the low-level _io.open entry point (io.open / builtins.open originate there).
- Confine os.chdir to the workdir and deny os.fchdir so a cwd escape cannot turn a
  later relative read/write into a host-path access.
- Deny fd-based metadata mutators (os.fchmod / os.fchown) that could reuse a read-only
  descriptor opened on an outside file.

Adds regression tests across the const-fold, aliasing, exec-recursion and runtime-
backstop suites for every item above.
