refactor: optimize hash table iterations and fix security issues #58

- refactor(core): replace g_hash_table_get_keys with g_hash_table_iter_init
  * Eliminates temporary GList allocations
  * Improves iteration performance
  * Affected: connection.c, cmd_defs.c, cmd_funcs.c, omemo.c, gpg.c,
    disco.c, form.c, autocompleters.c, capabilities.c, callbacks.c

- fix(xmpp): correct queued_messages loop in connection.c:1031
  * Remove incorrect NULL check that prevented message storage
  * calloc zeros array, causing loop to skip immediately
  * Fixes dropped messages during reconnection with SM enabled

- fix(ui): prevent format string vulnerabilities in cons_show calls
  * Replace cons_show(variable) with cons_show("%s", variable)
  * Protects against format string attacks if variables contain %
  * Updated instances across cmd_funcs.c, connection.c, ox.c,
    console.c, core.c

-### Security checks
-
-We have a static analyzer `check-cwe134.sh` that detects CWE-134 format string vulnerabilities. It runs automatically in CI but you can also run it locally:
-
-```bash
-./check-cwe134.sh
-```
-
-This checks for unsafe patterns where data could be passed directly as a format string to functions like `printf`, `cons_show`, etc. Never pass a raw string for formatting; use `"%s"` format specifier instead.
-
 ### Finding typos
 
 We include a `.codespellrc` configuration file for `codespell` in the root directory.
