Add nonce verification to prevent CSRF on screenshot generation.

The get_site_screenshot() AJAX handler currently relies only on capability checking (manage_network). Without check_ajax_referer(), a cross-site request can trick a logged-in network admin into calling Screenshot::take_screenshot() and creating/updating media attachments for an attacker-chosen site_id.

The JavaScript client (assets/js/screenshot-scraper.js:19-20) sends no nonce, and the server-side handler performs no nonce validation. Add nonce generation on the client and verification on the server:

🛡️ Suggested server-side guard

 if ( ! current_user_can('manage_network')) {
-	wp_send_json_error(new \WP_Error('unauthorized', __('You do not have permission to perform this action.', 'ultimate-multisite')));
+	wp_send_json_error(new \WP_Error('unauthorized', __('You do not have permission to perform this action.', 'ultimate-multisite')), 403);
+}
+
+if ( ! check_ajax_referer('wu_get_screenshot', false, false)) {
+	wp_send_json_error(new \WP_Error('invalid_nonce', __('Security check failed. Please try again.', 'ultimate-multisite')), 403);
 }

Update the client-side AJAX call to include the nonce via wp_create_nonce('wu_get_screenshot') passed in the data object.

			wp_send_json_error(new \WP_Error('unauthorized', __('You do not have permission to perform this action.', 'ultimate-multisite')), 403);
		}

		if ( ! check_ajax_referer('wu_get_screenshot', false, false)) {
			wp_send_json_error(new \WP_Error('invalid_nonce', __('Security check failed. Please try again.', 'ultimate-multisite')), 403);

In `@inc/managers/class-site-manager.php` around lines 542 - 544, The
get_site_screenshot() AJAX handler lacks nonce verification, making it
vulnerable to CSRF attacks. Add a check_ajax_referer() call after the
current_user_can() capability check in the handler to verify the nonce with the
action 'wu_get_screenshot'. On the client-side in
assets/js/screenshot-scraper.js, update the AJAX request data object to include
the nonce by adding a field with the value generated from
wp_create_nonce('wu_get_screenshot') on the server. This ensures that only
legitimate requests from your application can trigger the screenshot
functionality.
