Checkmarx AST CLI hardener

The changes, security properties, caveats, and verification path for the ast-cli hardener.

Checkmarx AST CLI hardener

Run av harden ast-cli to apply this hardener and av doctor ast-cli to verify it.

Uses the target executable selected by your current PATH, shows its exact path for confirmation, and embeds that path in a launcher stub. Then it migrates supported existing credentials into Automic Vault and runs the target through av inject --allow-missing-keys with those secrets. Automic Vault requests elevation only to install the launcher stub. This does not protect the target executable; anything that can replace it can read the injected credentials. Run av scan after hardening to find unsupported credentials or secrets written later.
