Sean Whalen d7366d088f Add DMARCbis report support; rename forensic→failure project-wide
Rebased on top of master @ 2cda5bf (9.9.0), which added the ASN
source attribution work (#712, #713, #714, #715). Individual Copilot
iteration commits squashed into this single commit — the per-commit
history on the feature branch was iterative (add tests, fix lint,
move field, revert, etc.) and not worth preserving; GitHub squash-
merges PRs anyway.

### DMARCbis fields (new)

New fields from the DMARCbis XSD, plumbed through types, parsing, CSV
output, and the Elasticsearch / OpenSearch mappings:

- ``np`` — non-existent subdomain policy (``none`` / ``quarantine`` /
  ``reject``)
- ``testing`` — testing mode flag (``n`` / ``y``), replaces RFC 7489
  ``pct``
- ``discovery_method`` — policy discovery method (``psl`` /
  ``treewalk``)
- ``generator`` — report generator software identifier (metadata)
- ``human_result`` — optional descriptive text on DKIM / SPF results

RFC 7489 reports parse with ``None`` for DMARCbis-only fields.

### Forensic → failure rename

Forensic reports have been renamed to failure reports throughout the
project to reflect the proper naming since RFC 7489.

- Core: ``types.py``, ``__init__.py`` — ``ForensicReport`` →
  ``FailureReport``, ``parse_forensic_report`` →
  ``parse_failure_report``, report type ``"failure"``.
- Output modules: ``elastic.py``, ``opensearch.py``, ``splunk.py``,
  ``kafkaclient.py``, ``syslog.py``, ``gelf.py``, ``webhook.py``,
  ``loganalytics.py``, ``s3.py``.
- CLI: ``cli.py`` — args, config keys, index names
  (``dmarc_failure``).
- Docs + dashboards: all markdown, Grafana JSON, Kibana NDJSON,
  Splunk XML.

Backward compatibility preserved: old function / type names remain as
aliases (``parse_forensic_report = parse_failure_report``,
``ForensicReport = FailureReport``, etc.), CLI accepts both the old
(``save_forensic``, ``forensic_topic``) and new (``save_failure``,
``failure_topic``) config keys, and updated dashboards query both
old and new index / sourcetype names so data from before and after
the rename appears together.

### Rebase notes

Merge conflicts resolved in ``parsedmarc/constants.py`` (took bis's
10.0.0 bump), ``parsedmarc/__init__.py`` (combined bis's "failure"
wording with master's IPinfo MMDB mention), ``parsedmarc/elastic.py``
and ``parsedmarc/opensearch.py`` (kept master's ``source_asn`` /
``source_asn_name`` / ``source_asn_domain`` on the failure doc path
while renaming ``forensic_report`` → ``failure_report``), and
``CHANGELOG.md`` (10.0.0 entry now sits above the 9.9.0 entry).

All 324 tests pass; ``ruff check`` / ``ruff format --check`` clean.

`parsedmarc` is a Python module and CLI utility for parsing DMARC reports.
When used with Elasticsearch and Kibana (or Splunk), or with OpenSearch and Grafana, it works as a self-hosted
open source alternative to commercial DMARC report processing services such
as Agari Brand Protection, Dmarcian, OnDMARC, ProofPoint Email Fraud Defense,
and Valimail.
## Features
- Parses draft and 1.0 standard aggregate/rua DMARC reports
- Parses failure/ruf DMARC reports
- Parses reports from SMTP TLS Reporting
- Can parse reports from an inbox over IMAP, Microsoft Graph, or Gmail API
- Transparently handles gzip or zip compressed reports
- Consistent data structures
- Simple JSON and/or CSV output
- Optionally email the results
- Optionally send the results to Elasticsearch, Opensearch, and/or Splunk, for use
with premade dashboards
- Optionally send reports to Apache Kafka
