fix(composer): build the font path from the allowlist entry

secure_filename cleared the plugin-directory alerts: CodeQL went from 19
to 5, and from 16 high-severity to 2. The two that remain are in
serve_font, which is gated by a frozenset of three exact filenames -- so
nothing was exploitable -- but the name reaching the filesystem was still
the request value.

It now comes from the matched allowlist entry. Identical strings, so
runtime behaviour is unchanged; the difference is that the filename is
provably a module constant rather than a guarded piece of user input.

The first test I wrote for this proved nothing. It asserted 404 on
traversal payloads, but Flask's router will not match a path segment
containing '/', and the rest 404 simply because no such file exists --
so removing the allowlist entirely still passed. Replaced with a readable
file planted next to the fonts:

    fonts/id_rsa.ttf  ->  404, body does not contain its contents

which fails with "a readable non-allowlisted file was served" the moment
the gate is removed.

45 tests.

Left alone: three medium py/stack-trace-exposure alerts on the
_generate_plugin_files handlers, which return str(exc) for
ComposerInputError. Its seven raise sites are all authored literals
("Author is required.", "Config variable key X is not a valid Python
identifier."), so no traceback or path is exposed. Clearing them means
either replacing that feedback with a generic string or restructuring
validation to return errors instead of raising -- a change to the
author's design, made blind, since CodeQL cannot be run locally to
confirm it would even work. That is a decision, not a cleanup.
