The unauthenticated GET /api/v1/picture/{user}/{id} handler concatenated the
two URL params verbatim into a filesystem path via path.Join, so a request
like /api/v1/picture/../remark.db resolved to <base>/../remark.db, escaping
the image directory. With Partitions=0 (a documented option) this is a
direct arbitrary-file read; with the default Partitions=100 the constructed
path lands in a CRC-derived subdirectory but the server still leaks the
internal filesystem path back to the unauthenticated caller via the JSON
error body — confirmed against demo.remark42.com (master-80c12a3) which
returned `stat /var/folders/.../staging/.../remark.db` for `..` requests.
Validate both URL segments via safePictureSegment (no traversal markers,
no path separators, no NULs) at the handler entry, and replace the raw
storage error with a generic "image not found" response. The original
error is logged for operators.
Reproduction test asserts that ../remark.db, foo/..%2Fremark.db and
%2E%2E/remark.db all return 400 with no internal path leaked.
