fix(security): harden credential storage and transmission

Problem: credential and cookie files were world-readable (0644),
passwords transited via `CP_CREDENTIALS` env var (visible in
`/proc/PID/environ`), and Kattis/USACO echoed passwords back
through stdout unnecessarily.

Solution: set 0600 permissions on `cp-nvim.json` and `cookies.json`
after every write, pass credentials via stdin pipe instead of env
var, and stop emitting passwords in ndjson from Kattis/USACO
`LoginResult` (CSES token emission unchanged).
