fix(postgres): implement comprehensive allowlist validation to prevent all injection attacks

Replace complex blocklist validation with simple, secure allowlist approach:

- Database names: only alphanumeric, underscore, hyphen (no path traversal possible)
- Hostnames: only alphanumeric, dots, hyphens (standard hostname chars)
- Usernames: only alphanumeric and underscore
- Extra options: strict allowlist of safe PostgreSQL parameters only
- Length limits: enforce PostgreSQL/RFC limits for all fields

This prevents all reported attack vectors:
- SQL injection via database names, hostnames, or parameters
- Path traversal attacks (../, ..\, %2f, etc.)
- Parameter injection (@, ;, ?, #, etc.)
- Encoding bypasses (%, backticks, etc.)
- Option injection via extra parameters
