fix(security): log every scan attempt blocked before execution

[anshul23102]

Description

Fixes #1623

Previously, the audit log only recorded scans that passed every gate and began executing, via executor.create_task's "task_created" event. Any attempt rejected earlier — missing consent, unknown plugin, invalid preset, unauthorised target/credential/session policy, invalid input, or a target blocked by safe mode — raised its HTTPException and exited the code path before ever reaching a log write. An administrator had no way to determine, post-incident, whether a user had attempted to scan an unauthorised target: the misuse simply left no trace.

Approach

Added _log_blocked_scan_attempt, a thin wrapper around the existing db.log_audit with severity="warning", and called it at every rejection point in POST /task/start before its raise:

• task_blocked_invalid_payload — payload size/field-length guard
• task_blocked_consent — consent not granted
• task_blocked_plugin_not_found — unknown plugin_id
• task_blocked_invalid_preset — preset not valid for the plugin
• task_blocked_policy — target/credential/session policy missing or insufficiently permissive
• task_blocked_invalid_input — timeout/max_scan_time out of bounds
• task_blocked_safe_mode — target rejected or validation timed out under safe mode (the exact scenario the issue's reproduction steps describe)
• task_blocked_rate_limit — per-client-per-plugin quota exceeded

Moved db = await get_db() to the top of start_task so it's available to every rejection branch, including ones that previously ran before the database handle was fetched.

Type of Change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

How Has This Been Tested?

New test file testing/backend/integration/test_task_start_audit_log.py (5 tests):

• missing consent → task_blocked_consent audit entry, severity warning
• unknown plugin → task_blocked_plugin_not_found entry
• invalid preset → task_blocked_invalid_preset entry
• safe-mode target rejection (public IP with no permissive target policy) → task_blocked_safe_mode entry with the target in context
• regression guard: the existing successful-path task_created entry still fires exactly once, unaffected by the new instrumentation

Full suite run locally:

pytest testing/backend/unit -q -m "not benchmark"        # 2210 passed (6 pre-existing failures, confirmed identical on unmodified main — sandbox/subprocess tests, unrelated to this change)
pytest testing/backend/integration -q -m "not benchmark"  # 289 passed, 9 skipped (284 baseline + 5 new)
ruff check backend testing/backend                          # all checks passed
scripts/check-artifacts.sh origin/main                       # clean

Additional Notes

I'm contributing this through GSSoC. While building the test for the safe-mode rejection path, I found a separate, more serious issue: start_task's safe-mode target check only looks at the literal "target" input key (if target := effective_inputs.get("target")), but plugins can declare their field under a different name — http_inspector's schema uses "url". For any plugin whose field isn't literally named "target", safe-mode validation is silently skipped entirely (confirmed: validate_target("http://8.8.8.8", True) correctly rejects it, but the request-level check never reaches it for http_inspector). I've flagged that separately rather than expanding this PR's scope, since it's a distinct bug from the audit-log gap this PR fixes.

The audit logging direction is right, but backend-unit CI is failing and the branch has merge conflicts. Please rebase on latest main, fix the failing tests, and push again.
