feat(content-filter): add employment discrimination topic blockers for 5 protected classes

Adds YAML topic category files for military_status, disability, age_discrimination,
religion, and gender_sexual_orientation to block employment discrimination prompts
like "Do not hire veterans because they may have mental health issues."

Previously these were not blocked because:
- The prebuilt regex patterns used strict \b word boundaries that didn't match
  plurals (veterans, disabilities, Muslims)
- gender_sexual_orientation pattern was LGBTQ+-focused and missed women/female
- age_discrimination pattern missed "over 50" phrasing
- No conditional (identifier + discriminatory intent) detection existed for these
  protected classes

Each new YAML file uses the bias_racial.yaml pattern: identifier_words (protected
class terms) + additional_block_words (discriminatory employment actions), plus
always_block_keywords for explicit discriminatory phrases. Exceptions prevent false
positives for legitimate diversity programs, accommodation discussions, etc.

Also fixes regex plurals in patterns.json: veterans?, disabilit(y|ies), muslims?,
adds wom[ae]n?/females? to gender pattern, and over\s+\d+ to age pattern.

Evals: 100% precision/recall/F1/accuracy on all 5 new categories (89 total cases,
0 FP, 0 FN). Existing insults and investment evals unaffected.
