feat(security): scan Homebrew pkgs via brew-vulns

Add Audit.ScanHomebrew, which shells out to "brew vulns --json" (the
homebrew/brew-vulns tap) to cover the Homebrew formulae that ScanOSV
skips. It resolves each formula's source repo and version tag and
queries OSV via the GIT ecosystem.

brew-vulns exits 1 when vulnerabilities are found, so success is
detected by parseable JSON on stdout rather than the exit code; if the
tool is not installed the scan is skipped with a notice instead of
failing the audit. Qualitative severities are mapped through the
existing severityLabelToScore/cvssToSeverity helpers for consistency.
