Subject: [PATCH] fix: Prevent XSS vulnerabilities in all user-displayed data

Introduced a new `safeDisplay` function in `apps.functions.php` to sanitize output using `htmlspecialchars`.

This comprehensive change applies the `safeDisplay` function to all identified locations where user-provided data is displayed to prevent reflected XSS attacks:

- Sanitized the `$_GET['search']` parameter in `apps/explorer/accounts.php`.
- Sanitized `$_REQUEST` parameters and the `id` from `$_GET` in `apps/explorer/smart_contract.php`.
- Sanitized the `transaction['message']` field where it is displayed in `apps/explorer/address.php`, `tx.php`, and `mempool.php`.
- Sanitized smart contract parameters decoded from the transaction message in `apps/explorer/tx.php` before they are displayed.
- Sanitized the `transaction['message']` field on the admin mempool page in `apps/admin/tabs/mempool.php`.
- Sanitized the `address` and `type` GET parameters in `apps/explorer/address_info.php`.
