KaifAhmad1 220fb10e5c fix(export): escape IRI-valued metadata to close a Turtle/N-Triples injection gap
_turtle_object() wrote an IRI-valued metadata value (currently only
sem:sourceUri, from the "uri" metadata key) straight into `<{value}>`
with no escaping. Turtle/N-Triples IRIREFs exclude control
characters, space, and <>"{}|^`\ unescaped, so a value shaped like
`<goodIRI> . <injected> <p> <o>` closed the reference early and let
the rest of the string be parsed as an attacker-chosen extra triple:

    metadata={"uri": "https://x> . <https://injected> <https://p> <https://o"}

produced a well-formed Turtle/N-Triples document containing a triple
the caller never asked for.

RDF/XML was already safe (_rdfxml_metadata_lines runs the value
through _escape_xml before putting it in an rdf:resource attribute),
and JSON-LD is safe by construction (json.dumps makes structural
injection impossible) — only the Turtle/N-Triples "iri" literal path
in _turtle_object was unguarded.

Adds _safe_iri_ref(), a narrow percent-encoder for exactly the
characters an IRIREF may not contain unescaped. It's deliberately not
_as_turtle_iri: that also resolves registered prefixes, which a
metadata value never needs, so a dedicated guard stays simpler than
threading namespaces into a module-level helper that has no `self`.

Two regression tests, parametrised over turtle/ntriples: the `>`
delimiter-breaking payload from the report, and a control-character
(newline/tab) variant covering the other half of the excluded set.
