fix(phase2c): add input validation and security hardening for PR review

Addresses critical P0 PR review issues for Phase 2C metadata hydration:

Input Validation (user_repo.go):
- Add MaxBatchSize constant (1000 DIDs) to prevent excessive queries
- Validate batch size before database operations
- Validate DID format (must start with "did:")
- Prevents SQL injection and malformed queries

Security Hardening (comment_service.go):
- Add HTTPS validation for community avatar URLs
- Validate CID format (must start with "baf" for IPFS CIDv1)
- Add URL escaping with url.QueryEscape() for DID and CID parameters
- Import "net/url" for proper URL handling
- Prevents mixed content warnings, MitM attacks, and injection attacks

API Documentation (interfaces.go):
- Add comprehensive godoc for GetByDIDs method
- Document parameters, return values, and behavior
- Include usage examples for developers

All changes maintain backward compatibility while adding critical
security and validation layers.
