Eric Hare e7c33dbaad fix(security): do not execute code in validate_code (GHSA-2wcq-pvw2-xh7v) (#13696)
* fix(security): do not execute code in validate_code (GHSA-2wcq-pvw2-xh7v)

POST /api/v1/validate/code compiled and exec'd every function definition in the
submitted code as part of "validation". Executing a function definition
evaluates its decorators and default-argument expressions at definition time, so
a payload like

    def f(x=__import__("os").system("...")): ...

runs arbitrary code during validation without the function ever being called -
an authenticated RCE (effectively unauthenticated under the default AUTO_LOGIN
single-user setup). The same issue was also reported separately as a duplicate.

validate_code now compiles each function only to surface syntax/compile errors
and never exec()s it. The legitimate component-execution paths
(create_function/execute_function/eval_function), which are separately gated by
allow_custom_components, are unchanged.

* [autofix.ci] apply automated fixes

* [autofix.ci] apply automated fixes (attempt 2/3)

* refactor(security): drop dead _create_langflow_execution_context helper

Addresses review feedback on GHSA-2wcq-pvw2-xh7v fix. The helper only
existed to seed the exec() that validate_code no longer performs, so its
only remaining references were its own isolation tests. Remove both, and
assert function compile errors are empty in the non-execution regression
test.
