Handle the UnderBar named-entity alias.

Add ["underbar", "_"] to SEPARATOR_ENTITIES and add a regression test for access&UnderBar;token. Without this alias, the credential label does not match access[_-]?token, so the token can remain in redacted output.

In `@src/lib/redact-folding.ts` around lines 42 - 47, Add the lowercase underbar

access[_-]?token.
