content: add 4 Egypt canons, re-verify 3 aging canons

[dbwls99706]

Gap filled

Egypt (eg) had only 4 country canons (culture, emergency, food-safety, visa

• one each) versus 5+ for every other supported country, and zero coverage in
  banking, medical, legal, or safety. This PR adds one canon in each of those
  four missing domains, taking Egypt from 4 → 8 country canons.

New canons

• banking/currency-declaration-required/eg - foreign currency over USD
  10,000 must be declared on both entry and exit; Egyptian pounds are capped
  at EGP 5,000 regardless of declaration.
• medical/controlled-medication-import-permission/eg - tramadol/codeine
  require advance Ministry of Health permission even with a valid foreign
  prescription; a UK traveler was jailed 3 years in 2018 for exactly this.
• legal/drone-possession-requires-military-permit/eg - drone possession
  (not just flying) is a criminal offense without Ministry of Defence
  authorization; airport X-ray screening routinely confiscates undeclared
  drones.
• safety/red-sea-liveaboard-safety-standards-vary/eg - the UK Marine
  Accident Investigation Branch found Red Sea liveaboard dive boats "poorly
  constructed" with defective safety gear, following the Nov 2024 Sea Story
  capsizing (11 dead/missing) and June 2023 Hurricane fire (3 dead); price
  and operator reputation are not reliable safety indicators.

Checked existing Egypt canons for topic overlap first - none of the four new
canons restate an existing one.

Re-verified aging canons

Bucket assigned by python -m generator.reverify --seed eg (re-fetched
origin first, claim scan clean - no conflicts with other pushed branches):

• cuda/illegal-memory-access/cuda12-linux - re-read the NVIDIA CUDA C++
  Programming Guide error-handling docs; still current, last_confirmed
  bumped.
• docker/cannot-connect-to-docker-daemon/docker27-linux - one source URL
  (docs.docker.com/config/daemon/start/) now redirects to
  docs.docker.com/engine/daemon/start/; content (systemctl start command)
  unchanged, URL updated in place, last_confirmed bumped.
• node/err-import-assertion-type-missing/node20-linux - re-read Node.js ESM
  docs; confirmed with { type: 'json' } is now mandatory (the older
  assert syntax was dropped in Node 22), which matches what the canon
  already says, last_confirmed bumped.

Validation

• ruff check generator/ tests/ - passed
• python -m pytest tests/ -q - 369 passed
• python -m generator.validate --data-only - passed
• python -m generator.build_site - passed
• python -m generator.validate --site-only - passed
