fix: Resolve 2 test failures + add conftest.py auto-mock for speed

- Integration test: skip tests requiring real Semgrep when not installed
- Cache timing test: replace single-sample with median-of-5 + relative threshold
- conftest.py: auto-mock scanner version checks (trufflehog, zap-cli, nuclei,
  gitleaks, falco) to avoid 5s subprocess timeouts per test instantiation
- Suite time: 10:13 → 8:04 (21% faster)
