Add NFC normalization to all FormData inputs across 41 server actions

All user-supplied string values from FormData now go through
String.prototype.normalize('NFC') to prevent Unicode homoglyph
attacks and canonicalization bypasses. NFC is idempotent for
already-normalized strings, so this is a pure security improvement
with zero behavioral change for legitimate users.
