fix(github): address review findings from rounds 2867/2870

- Extract duplicated CheckRedirect lambda to defaultCheckRedirect function
  (sonnet #1: eliminate duplication between NewClient and SetHTTPClient)
- Remove unnecessary int64 cast in response size check (sonnet #3)
- Validate fallback unmarshal in ListContents to reject zero-value entries
  (sonnet #5: prevent accepting unexpected JSON formats silently)
- Rename strPtr to stringPtr for consistency (sonnet #6)
- Add doc comment about APIError.Error body exposure (security #3)

Deferred to separate issues:
- #95: Reject cross-host redirects entirely (security #1)
- #96: Add safeguards for AllowInsecureHTTP (security #2)
