security: add web content security section to system prompt

- Add buildWebSecuritySection() that warns about untrusted web content
- Warns agent that web_fetch, web_search, browser content is untrusted
- Explicitly tells agent to ignore 'ignore previous instructions' type attacks
- Only shows when web tools are available

This helps defend against prompt injection via malicious web pages.
