fix: emit archive-to-archive CONTAINS edges and drop self-loops

the archive's `CONTAINS` edges were built from every coordinate in the sub-pipeline's scratch SBOM, which gets one of two things wrong:
- with the default `FilesOwnedByPackageSelection`, nothing records the nested archives as files, so the archive-to-archive chain was missing and grandchild packages hung off coordinates with no incoming edge
- the scratch SBOM also holds coordinates from the parent's frame, most notably unknowns recorded at the archive's own coordinates (e.g. a jar with no manifest). Those turned into `x.jar CONTAINS x.jar`

edges now go to the nested archives found in it (always, whatever the file selection), plus coordinates whose `ArchivePath` is this archive's own chain, i.e. files that are actually inside it. The walk reuses that one discovery pass for the recursion.
