feat(security): add global tracing scrubber to prevent token exposure in logs

  Implements automatic sanitization of GitHub tokens and credentials across
  all log output using tracing-subscriber. Prevents accidental exposure of:
  - GitHub tokens (ghp_, gho_, ghu_, ghs_, ghr_)
  - Credentials in URLs (x-access-token, basic auth)
  - Bearer tokens

  Resolves critical security vulnerability where installation tokens embedded
  in git URLs would leak through error messages.

- add tracing and tracing-subscriber to Cargo.toml
