fix(scanner): downgrade clean risk score to degraded on incomplete coverage

The scan summary reported a 0/100 "clean" verdict even when part of the
scanner fleet failed, so a user saw an all-clear while 40% of scanners
never ran. Coverage was only surfaced as a separate WARNING block.

Tie risk-score confidence to scanner coverage:
- SecurityScanSummary / ScanSummary carry scanners_run/failed/total.
- GetScanSummary computes coverage on the primary pass and downgrades a
  would-be "clean" verdict to a new "degraded" status when any scanner
  failed. "dangerous"/"warnings"/"failed" verdicts are left intact.
- CLI report annotates the Risk Score line with
  "(degraded — N of M scanners did not run)".
- Swagger + CLI docs updated.
