fix: compress sanitized file, never compress raw

SECURITY FIX: The workflow was compressing the raw HAR file before
sanitization, meaning the .har.gz contained PII. Now:

1. Sanitize first → creates .sanitized.har
2. Compress the sanitized file → creates .sanitized.har.gz
3. Delete intermediates unless --keep-raw

Added tests to prevent regression:
- test_compressed_file_named_from_sanitized_source
- test_workflow_order_sanitize_then_compress
- test_raw_file_not_compressed_directly
