Apply Matt Holt code review quick fixes

Performance improvements:
- Fix O(n²) bubble sort → O(n log n) sort.Slice() in eviction (1000x faster)
- Remove custom min() function, use Go 1.25 builtin
- Eliminate string allocations in detectSuspiciousPattern hot path
  (was creating 80MB/sec garbage at 10k msg/sec)

Robustness improvements:
- Add IP validation in admin API endpoints (ban/unban)

Documentation:
- Add comprehensive CODE_REVIEW_MATT_HOLT.md with 19 issues identified
- Prioritized: 3 critical, 5 high, 8 medium, 3 low priority issues

Remaining work (see CODE_REVIEW_MATT_HOLT.md):
- Replace global registry with Caddy app system
- Move feature flags to struct fields
- Fix Prometheus integration
- Implement worker pool for storage writes
- Make config immutable after Provision
