Fix CRITICAL JavaScript code injection vulnerability in Jest config generation

**Issue #17:** Unsanitized file paths in f-string interpolation can inject
arbitrary JavaScript code into the generated Jest config file.

**Severity:** CRITICAL

**Root Cause:**
File: /opt/codeflash/codeflash/languages/javascript/test_runner.py:516, 524, 565

Three locations used f-string interpolation to embed paths into JavaScript code
without escaping:

1. Line 516: `test_dirs_js = ", ".join(f"'{d}'" for d in sorted(test_dirs))`
2. Line 524: `f"moduleDirectories: [..., '{monorepo_node_modules}'],"`
3. Line 565: `f"roots: ['{project_root}', {test_dirs_js}],"`

If any path contains a single quote (`'`), it breaks out of the string and
executes arbitrary JavaScript. Example:

**Malicious path:** `/tmp/test']; console.log('INJECTED'); roots=['`

**Vulnerable output:**
```javascript
roots: ['/project', '/tmp/test']; console.log('INJECTED'); roots=[''],
                                ^-- breaks string, executes code
```

**Impact:**
- **Code injection:** Arbitrary JavaScript execution when Jest loads config
- **Attack vector:** User-controlled paths (test directories, monorepo paths)
- **Scope:** Any project where test dirs or project root contains quote char
- **Risk:** HIGH - While uncommon, paths can be influenced via symlinks,
  mount points, or malicious repository names

**Fix:**
Use `json.dumps()` to properly escape all paths before embedding in JavaScript:

1. Line 516: `json.dumps(d)` instead of `f"'{d}'"`
2. Line 524: `json.dumps(monorepo_node_modules)` instead of f-string
3. Line 565: `json.dumps(str(project_root))` instead of f-string

`json.dumps()` wraps strings in double quotes and properly escapes special
characters, preventing injection.

**After fix:**
```javascript
roots: ["/project", "/tmp/test']; console.log('INJECTED'); roots=['"],
                   ^-- double quoted, single quotes are string content (safe)
```

**Files Changed:**
- codeflash/languages/javascript/test_runner.py (3 injection points fixed)
- tests/test_languages/test_javascript_injection_bug.py (new test file, 2 tests)

**Testing:**
- 2 new tests specifically for injection vulnerability (both pass)
- 2 existing test_runner tests pass
- All tests verify paths are JSON-escaped (double-quoted)

**Security Note:**
This vulnerability was found through proactive code review (autoresearch:debug).
No known exploits in the wild. Fixed before public disclosure.
