Alex Goodman 22edfe66ca fix: link nested java packages to their enclosing jar when nested cataloging is on
the legacy recursion links a nested jar to the jar that holds it: a `DEPENDENCY_OF` edge from inner to outer, and `JavaArchive.Parent` on the inner package. Inside an extracted archive java called `parse(ctx, nil)`, so both went away as soon as the feature was on. What replaced them was `file CONTAINS package`, which SPDX and CycloneDX drop, so those formats lost all war-to-jar structure.

- `archive.Traversal` gains `Parent` and `Packages` (the packages found describing that archive, filled in by the task after its sub-pipeline runs)
- java picks the enclosing jar's main package from the parent traversal (the one whose virtual path is the archive's own; pom-derived aux packages carry a suffixed one) and passes it to `parse`, then sets `Parent` the same way the legacy path does

syft alpine:latest

# directory
syft ./my-project

To get an SBOM, specify one or more output formats:

# SBOM to stdout
syft <image> -o cyclonedx-json

# Multiple SBOMs to files
syft <image> -o spdx-json=./spdx.json -o cyclonedx-json=./cdx.json
