Remove the no-op ci_clang_analyze target

ci_clang_analyze configured the build with the real compiler and only
then wrapped ninja with scan-build. scan-build intercepts compiles by
overriding CC/CXX, but build.ninja already had the compiler path baked
in from the configure step, so every run bypassed the analyzer: CI
logs show "No bugs found" after a normal build, never an analysis.
The job also used Debian's frozen clang-tools-14 rather than the
image's own clang, and CLANG_ANALYZER_CHECKS still named three
valist.* checkers that current clang merged into security.VAList.

ci_clang_tidy already runs every clang-analyzer-* check (via
.clang-tidy's "Checks: '*'") with warnings as errors, so nothing is
lost by removing the dead job. Delete ci_clang_analyze,
CLANG_ANALYZER_CHECKS and the SCAN_BUILD_TOOL lookup from
cmake/ci.cmake, drop it from the ubuntu.yml ci_static_analysis_clang
matrix, and drop the now-unused clang-tools apt package (iwyu stays
for ci_single_binaries). Reword quality_assurance.md and
assurance_case.md, which described the dead job as a working control,
to say the Clang Static Analyzer checks run through clang-tidy.

Verified that `cmake -DJSON_CI=ON` still configures cleanly and that
ci_clang_analyze no longer appears in the generated build or in any
CMake/workflow file.
