feat: add database-level production safety checks (GAP-SYNC-047)

Adds multi-layer protection against running destructive tests on production:

1. Pre-flight check (hooks.js): Verifies NODE_ENV=test before any DB connection
2. Database name check: Requires 'test' substring in database name
3. Entry count threshold: Refuses if database has >100 entries (configurable)

Environment Variables:
- TEST_SAFETY_MAX_ENTRIES: Max entries before refusing (default: 100)
- TEST_SAFETY_REQUIRE_TEST_DB: Require 'test' in DB name (default: true)
- TEST_SAFETY_SKIP: Emergency bypass for all checks (default: false)

Files:
- tests/lib/production-safety.js: Core safety check module
- tests/00_production-safety.test.js: Runs first to gate test suite
- tests/production-safety.test.js: Unit tests for safety module
- tests/hooks.js: Updated to use new module

This addresses concerns about users with 'test' in production DB names
by adding the entry count threshold as a secondary safety measure.
