Completed Refactors

• Moved Fail2BanConnectionError and Fail2BanProtocolError from backend/app/utils/fail2ban_client.py into backend/app/exceptions.py. Updated all router, service, and test call sites to import these domain exceptions from app.exceptions and retained backward compatibility through re-exporting in app.utils.fail2ban_client.
