Otto a329831b0b feat(backend): Add ClamAV scanning for local file paths (#11988)
## Context

From PR #11796 review discussion. Files processed by the video blocks
(downloads, uploads, generated videos) should be scanned through ClamAV
for malware detection.

## Problem

`store_media_file()` in `backend/util/file.py` already scans:
- `workspace://` references
- Cloud storage paths  
- Data URIs (`data:...`)
- HTTP/HTTPS URLs

**But local file paths were NOT scanned.** The `else` branch only
verified the file exists.

This gap affected video processing blocks (e.g., `LoopVideoBlock`,
`AddAudioToVideoBlock`) that:
1. Download/receive input media
2. Process it locally (loop, add audio, etc.)
3. Write output to temp directory
4. Call `store_media_file(output_filename, ...)` with a local path →
**skipped virus scanning**

## Solution

Added virus scanning to the local file path branch:
```python
# Virus scan the local file before any further processing
local_content = target_path.read_bytes()
if len(local_content) > MAX_FILE_SIZE_BYTES:
    raise ValueError(...)
await scan_content_safe(local_content, filename=sanitized_file)
```

## Changes

- `backend/util/file.py` - Added ~7 lines to scan local files
(consistent with other input types)
- `backend/util/file_test.py` - Added 2 test cases for local file
scanning

## Risk Assessment

- **Low risk:** Single point of change, follows existing pattern
- **Backwards compatible:** No API changes
- **Fail-safe:** If scanning fails, file is rejected (existing behavior)

Closes SECRT-1904
