fix(ses_auth): harden comment stripping and alarm evaluation window (#103)
SES-AR-01: treat ")" at depth 0 as an unmatched close, rejecting the
value as not well-formed so a ")(...)" pair cannot manufacture a depth-0
gap where a smuggled dkim=pass clause gets parsed.

SES-AR-02: emit a space when a comment is removed so comments act as
CFWS folding whitespace (RFC 5322). Without this, "dk(z)im=pass" would
become "dkim=pass" and an attacker comment could glue unrelated tokens.

Alarm: widen evaluation_periods from 3→6 (30-min window) with
datapoints_to_alarm still at 2, closing the sparse-outage residual where
rejections >10-15 min apart fail to place breaching datapoints in 2 of 3
consecutive periods.

Both ses_auth.py copies stay byte-identical. All 86 tests pass.
