KaifAhmad1 b5199ae6e3 fix(ci): handle pip-audit skipped dependencies, restore manual trigger, fix stale docs
Addresses review feedback on this PR:

- Guard 2 and the PR-comment JS parser both required every dependency
  in pip-audit's report to carry an array-valued `vulns` field. A
  dependency pip-audit can't resolve/audit is reported instead as
  {"name": ..., "skip_reason": ...} with no `vulns` key at all (see
  pip_audit._format.json.JsonFormat._format_dep) - a normal, documented
  shape, not a malformed one. That made a single unauditable package
  hard-fail the whole job and show "Invalid report structure" in the PR
  comment, reintroducing the same class of scan-unrelated CI break this
  migration was meant to fix for Safety. Both now accept skipped
  entries, treat them as zero vulns, and surface them explicitly (job
  log + PR comment) instead of silently dropping or crashing on them.
  Verified the fixed jq queries and JS parse logic against synthetic
  pip-audit report fixtures covering the normal, skipped, and malformed
  shapes.

- Restored a `workflow_dispatch` trigger on security-scan.yml. Deleting
  security.yml (which had it) left no way to manually run a dependency
  audit on demand.

- Updated SECURITY.md, which still described security.yml as a live
  scanning workflow and Safety as an active scanner after this PR
  deletes both.
