Show Dependency Track audit detail in finding description

When Dependency Track pushes findings via the Finding Packaging Format, analysts can attach free-text notes to each finding through the analysis.detail field. This field was already parsed and available in the FPF document but was silently ignored, so auditors working in DefectDojo had no way to see those notes without going back to Dependency Track.

This appends the audit detail to the finding description under an "Audit Detail:" label when present. Findings without audit detail are unaffected. The change requires Dependency Track 4.14.0 or later, which is when analysis.detail was added to the FPF output (see companion PR in the Dependency Track repo).

Related to DependencyTrack/dependency-track#6181

When Dependency Track sends findings via the Finding Packaging Format, the
analysis.detail field is now forwarded alongside analysis.state. This appends
the audit detail text to the finding description under an "Audit Detail:" label,
making analyst notes visible without switching back to Dependency Track.
