copilot-swe-agent[bot] 148f4c87a9 Rename "forensic" to "failure" in docs and dashboard configs
Update documentation files (output.md, usage.md, kibana.md, splunk.md,
elasticsearch.md, index.md, example.ini) and dashboard configurations
(Grafana JSON, Kibana ndjson, Splunk XML) to use "failure" terminology
instead of "forensic", consistent with the codebase rename.

- CLI args: --forensic-* → --failure-*
- Config keys: save_forensic → save_failure, forensic_topic → failure_topic, etc.
- Index names: dmarc_forensic → dmarc_failure
- Splunk dashboard: renamed file from dmarc_forensic_dashboard.xml to dmarc_failure_dashboard.xml
- Backward-compat note preserved: "formerly known as forensic reports"

Sample outputs

Sample aggregate report output

Here are the results from parsing the example report from the dmarc.org wiki. It's actually an older draft of the 1.0 report schema standardized in RFC 7480 Appendix C. This draft schema is still in wide use.

parsedmarc produces consistent, normalized output, regardless of the report schema.
