fix: resolve apply_diff infinite hangs on complex XML content (#4852)

- Add timeout protection mechanism with 30-second limit to prevent regex catastrophic backtracking
- Fix regex capture group indexing (groups 3, 7, 8 instead of 2, 6, 7)
- Add content trimming to remove leading newlines from captured content
- Apply fixes to both MultiSearchReplaceDiffStrategy and MultiFileSearchReplaceDiffStrategy
- Add comprehensive test suite for timeout protection scenarios
- Maintain full backward compatibility with existing functionality

The original issue was caused by complex regex patterns with lazy quantifiers
causing exponential backtracking on nested XML content, not file size.
This fix transforms infinite hangs into graceful failures with helpful error messages.
