Thomas Bechtold 3fc5194f77 feat(sbom): wire archive orchestrator into CreateSBOM pipeline
Integrate the archive extraction orchestrator into the SBOM creation
pipeline, enabling recursive archive cataloging when configured:

- Add Archive field to CreateSBOMConfig with WithArchiveConfig builder
- Add Exclusions field to CreateSBOMConfig with WithExclusions builder
  so user --exclude patterns also filter content inside extracted
  archives, not only the source filesystem
- Add setupArchiveOrchestration() that creates the orchestrator when
  MaxDepth > 0, runs the iterative extract loop, and returns the
  composite resolver with archive contents visible to all catalogers
- Include archive config in configuration audit trail
- Add CLI archive config section (max-depth, size/file limits,
  exclude-extensions) wired through Catalog.ToArchiveConfig()
- CLI Catalog.ToSBOMConfig threads cfg.Exclusions through
  WithExclusions so child resolvers respect them

When MaxDepth is 0 (default), behavior is unchanged. When > 0, archives
discovered during scanning are extracted and their contents made visible
to all catalogers via the CompositeResolver.

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
