fix: address critical security vulnerabilities and improve code quality

- Fix XSS vulnerabilities in Tooltip component by replacing innerHTML with textContent and adding content sanitization
- Fix XSS vulnerability in UnifiedBackups by replacing innerHTML with safe DOM manipulation
- Add proper null checks for props.guest.cpu in GuestRow to prevent NaN errors
- Replace unsafe non-null assertions with proper conditional rendering
- Fix memory leak in Settings component by improving interval cleanup
- Fix WebSocket reconnection race condition by adding proper timeout cleanup
- Create standardized error handler utility for consistent error handling
- Enable VM state support in monitoring (resolves TODO)
- Improve type safety throughout the codebase
- All changes verified with successful frontend and backend builds
