fix(scanner): wrap untrusted repo content in prompt isolation tags (#226)

* fix(scanner): wrap untrusted repo content in prompt isolation tags

* fix(scanner): isolate untrusted repo content in enricher prompts

* fix(scanner): allowlist symbol_type and language before prompt insertion

* fix(scanner): escape opening tag to close nesting attack in prompt isolation

* Remove test file

* fix(scanner): tolerate null untrusted prompt fields
