zim: address PR review — config race, YAML null, path traversal, pinned build
Triage of Greptile findings on the default-Zim / configurable-directory PR:

- Stale config on restart (P1): settings update() only queues an async
  background_save, and the restart switch has no ordering guarantee (the switch
  worker pops LIFO), so start_kiwix_serve.sh could read the old zims_destination.
  Save the config synchronously before activating the restart switch.
- YAML null (P1): read_config_value.sh now treats an unquoted null/~ as unset
  (returns the default), matching PyYAML/the Python config layer.  A quoted
  "null" remains the literal string.
- Path traversal (P1/security): the settings API now rejects a zims_destination
  containing "..", and start_kiwix_serve.sh defends in depth by falling back to
  `zims` for any absolute/traversal/empty value, so Kiwix can never scan or
  rewrite library.xml outside the media root.
- Reproducible build (P2): pin the zim-tools image to 3.7.0 instead of :latest.

Tests added for null handling, traversal rejection (API + script).
