fix(tools): reduce false positives in exfil_curl/exfil_wget patterns

Anchor env var name matches with \b to avoid matching legitimate
env vars that contain KEY/TOKEN/API as substrings (e.g.,
$TRILLIUM_ETAPI_URL). The patterns now require KEY/TOKEN/SECRET/PASSWORD
to appear at the END of the env var name, reducing false positives on
common API-usage documentation in SOUL.md while still catching actual
exfiltration attempts.

Fixes #63977
