security: sanitize all error messages shown to users

Created centralized userFriendlyError() utility that converts raw
exceptions into clean, user-friendly messages. Strips hostnames,
ports, OS error codes, HTTP status codes, stack traces, and Django
field names. Maps network/timeout/auth/server errors to plain
English messages.

Fixed 16 locations across 10 files:
- home_screen, calendar_screen, learn_more_screen (SnackBar/Text)
- login_screen, desktop_login_screen (SnackBar)
- profile_screen, contribute_screen, search_screen (SnackBar)
- review_form, review_section (inline error text)
- gamification_provider (error field)

Also removed double-wrapped exceptions in ReviewService (rethrow
instead of throw Exception('Failed to...: $e')).
