security: Replace std::system() with safe subprocess execution

- Replace std::system() calls with fork/exec pattern
- Add executeCommand() method using fork/exec for safe command execution
- Eliminate security vulnerabilities flagged by CI analysis
- Maintain same functionality with proper process isolation
- Add necessary system includes for fork/exec operations
