Paul Nothaft 99f54a3954 fix(security): strip control characters before scanning CSS for url()
Review follow-up on the sanitizer dedup.

sanitizeCSS already carried the rule — "any pass that can join tokens has
to happen before validation, not after" — written above the URL scan to
explain why it runs after the HTML-comment strip. The control-character
strip is exactly such a pass and sat eleven lines below it.

So `u<CTRL>rl(https://tracker.example/p.gif)` was scanned as clean, and
the strip below then joined it into a live remote request with no
warning. Newlines are control characters here too, so `u\nrl(...)` did
it without an exotic byte. Verified against the real function before and
after: all five variants returned a live remote url() and now return
`none` plus the blocked-URL warning.

This PR is what exposed it. Dropping newsletterService's second
stripRemoteCssUrls pass was right — the duplicate hid a defect in the
shared sanitizer rather than fixing it — but it removed the belt that
was catching this for the newsletter path. Fixing the ordering fixes it
for every caller instead of restoring the second pass.
