T-005: Security hardening - CORS, Rate Limit, CSRF

- CORS: Restrict allowed origins to specific frontend URLs, limit methods and headers
- Rate Limit: Add fine-grained endpoint-specific rate limits for sensitive operations
  - Login: 5 requests/minute
  - Register: 3 requests/hour
  - Password change: 3 requests/5 minutes
  - Payment: 20 requests/minute
  - Admin: 30 requests/minute
- CSRF: Add CSRF protection middleware with double-submit cookie pattern
  - New app/core/csrf.py module with CSRFMiddleware
  - Require CSRF tokens on sensitive endpoints (auth, payment, profile)
  - Skip webhook endpoints for CSRF validation
- Fix pydantic-settings import in config.py
