build(ci): pin base container images, switch npm install to npm ci, and harden EML error handling (#5353)
# Description of Changes

This pull request introduces several improvements focused on security
and reliability in both the Docker build process and the backend API.
The most significant changes are the use of digest-pinned Docker base
images to ensure reproducible builds, safer handling of user-provided
filenames in error messages, and a switch to more reliable dependency
installation in CI workflows.

**Docker image security and reproducibility:**

* All Dockerfiles now use digest-pinned base images (e.g.,
`node:20-alpine@sha256:...`, `gradle:8.14-jdk21@sha256:...`,
`alpine:3.22.1@sha256:...`, `nginx:alpine@sha256:...`) to guarantee
build consistency and protect against upstream image changes.

**Backend API security:**

* In `ConvertEmlToPDF.java`, error messages now escape user-provided
filenames using `HtmlUtils.htmlEscape`, preventing potential XSS
vulnerabilities when displaying error messages that include filenames.

**CI/CD reliability:**

* All GitHub Actions workflows (`multiOSReleases.yml`,
`releaseArtifacts.yml`, `tauri-build.yml`) now use `npm ci` instead of
`npm install` for frontend dependency installation, ensuring clean,
reproducible installs that match the lockfile.
