fix(ego-lint): reduce Media Controls false positives

Recognize onDestroy() as a cleanup method in build-resource-graph.py
and check-resources.py, eliminating 45 resource-tracking false positives.
Lower provenance threshold from >= 4 to >= 3 for R-SLOP-01/02 JSDoc
suppression, eliminating 173 AI-slop false positives.

Closes #17
