fix: remove committed private keys and add gitleaks CI
- Remove all cert files from git tracking (git rm --cached)
  - crates/pm-agent-client/certs/client.key (private key)
  - crates/pm-agent-client/certs/client.crt (public cert)
  - crates/pm-agent-client/certs/ca.crt (public cert)
- Add .gitignore patterns for *.key, *.key.pem, certs/*.crt, certs/*.pem
- Update pm-agent-client doc examples to use std::fs::read() instead of include_bytes!
- Add gitleaks secret scanning job to CI workflow
- Update security-review.md with critical finding for Issue #12
- Add README.md to crates/pm-agent-client/certs/ explaining runtime cert generation

Private keys were dev/test only - no production key rotation needed.
Git history purge with filter-repo will follow after PR merge.

# Agent Client Certificates
**⚠️ Private keys are NOT committed to version control.**
This directory holds mTLS certificates used by `pm-agent-client` for testing.
The entire directory is excluded from git via `.gitignore`.
## Generating Test Certificates
Certificates are generated automatically on first run by the `pm-ca` service,
or you can generate them manually for development:
```bash
# Create certs directory if it doesn't exist
mkdir -p crates/pm-agent-client/certs
# Generate using the pm-ca service (preferred)
# Or copy from /etc/patch-manager/certs/ on a deployed host
```
## Production Deployment
Production certificates are managed by `pm-ca` at `/etc/patch-manager/certs/`.
The `pm-agent-client` reads certificates from file paths configured in
`config.toml` (`agent_client_cert_path`, `agent_client_key_path`, `ca_cert_path`).
## Security
- **Never commit private keys** (`*.key`, `*.key.pem`) to version control
- The `gitleaks` CI check scans for accidentally committed secrets
- See `SECURITY.md` and `docs/security-review.md` for full details
