Fabrizio Salmi a8c59b99b4 chore(license): attribute third-party sources for derived WAF data
The generated data (owasp_rules.json, waf_patterns/**) is derived from
third-party projects but was implicitly covered by the blanket MIT LICENSE
with no NOTICE. Add the missing attribution — additively and reversibly:

- THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md (new): per-source attribution
  - OWASP CoreRuleSet          -> Apache-2.0    (owasp_rules.json + waf_patterns/**)
  - JayBizzle/Crawler-Detect   -> MIT           (bad-bot list)
  - mitchellkrogza/...bad-bot  -> MIT           (bad-bot list)
  - matomo/referrer-spam-...   -> Public Domain (referrer spam)
- LICENSES/Apache-2.0.txt (new): canonical license copy (Apache-2.0 §4a).
- README: License section now scopes MIT to the original project code; the
  generated data is redistributed under its upstream licenses. Resources now
  credit the real bad-bot sources (removed the unused ai.robots.txt mention).
- Converters (owasp2json, json2nginx, json2apache, json2traefik, json2haproxy)
  emit a provenance header on every generated file (Apache-2.0 §4b "state
  changes"); owasp_rules.json gains a top-level _provenance key. Loaders accept
  both the {_provenance, rules} object and the legacy bare-array form.
- owasp_rules.json wrapped as {_provenance, rules} (rule content unchanged).
- update_patterns.yml jq updated for the object shape.

LICENSE stays MIT (GitHub detection unaffected). Propagation of the headers to
waf_patterns/** is left to the daily update_patterns workflow.
