Subject: [PATCH] fix(security): enhance resource management

- Convert message_load() file position array from fixed 1000 to dynamic:
  * Start with capacity of 1000, grow by 2x when needed
  * Use malloc/realloc for flexible memory management
  * Proper cleanup with free() after use
  * Graceful handling of memory allocation failures
- Enhance setup_host_key() error handling:
  * Validate key file size (reject 0 bytes and >10MB)
  * Automatically regenerate if key file is empty
  * Verify and fix insecure permissions (must be 0600)
  * Better error messages with file size reporting
- Improve client thread resource cleanup:
  * Use pthread_attr for explicit detached thread creation
  * Add pthread_mutex_destroy on thread creation failure
  * Proper cleanup order: mutex -> channel -> session -> memory
  * Add error logging with strerror() for thread failures

These changes address:
- Fixed 1000-line limit causing message truncation
- Corrupted/empty key file handling
- Permission race conditions
- Resource leaks on thread creation failure

Prevents:
- DoS via large log files
- Service startup failures from bad key files
- Memory/handle leaks under error conditions
