fix: add virus scanning to WorkspaceManager.write_file() (#11990)

## Summary

Adds virus scanning at the `WorkspaceManager.write_file()` layer for
defense in depth.

## Problem

Previously, virus scanning was only performed at entry points:
- `store_media_file()` in `backend/util/file.py`
- `WriteWorkspaceFileTool` in
`backend/api/features/chat/tools/workspace_files.py`

This created a trust boundary where any new caller of
`WorkspaceManager.write_file()` would need to remember to scan first.

## Solution

Add `scan_content_safe()` call directly in
`WorkspaceManager.write_file()` before persisting to storage. This
ensures all content is scanned regardless of the caller.

## Changes

- Added import for `scan_content_safe` from `backend.util.virus_scanner`
- Added virus scan call after file size validation, before storage

## Testing

Existing tests should pass. The scan is a no-op in test environments
where ClamAV isn't running.

> [!NOTE]
> **Medium Risk**
> Introduces a new required async scan step in the workspace write path,
which can add latency or cause new failures if the scanner/ClamAV is
misconfigured or unavailable.
> 
> **Overview**
> Adds a **defense-in-depth** virus scan to
`WorkspaceManager.write_file()` by invoking `scan_content_safe()` after
file-size validation and before any storage/database persistence.
> 
> This centralizes scanning so any caller writing workspace files gets
the same malware check without relying on upstream entry points to
remember to scan.
