security-guidance: gate XSS pattern rules to JS-family files
Closes #410, #2037, #2045, #1640, #1280, #1329, #1341, #255,
anthropics/claude-code#46720 (partial closes on overlap with other rules).

The plugin's substring-only XSS / browser-DOM rules
(new_function_injection, react_dangerously_set_html, document_write_xss,
innerHTML_xss, outerHTML_xss, insertAdjacentHTML_xss) fired on any file
containing the trigger substring — including:

  * Markdown documentation explaining XSS sinks
  * Blog posts / READMEs that name browser APIs
  * Python tutorials referencing dangerouslySetInnerHTML
  * Plugin skill files with example HTML strings
  * .yaml / .json configs that happen to contain the literal string
  * .gitignore / Dockerfile / Makefile

These constructs have no meaning outside JS/TS source. Add a
path_filter: lambda p: p.endswith(_JS_EXTS) to each so they fire only
on .js, .jsx, .ts, .tsx, .mjs, .cjs, .mts, .cts, .vue, .svelte.

Cross-checked against the existing _JS_EXTS-gated rules
(regex_exec_substring, child_process_exec, exec_substring) — same
pattern, same constant, same intent. Uses the module-level _JS_EXTS
tuple so future extension changes propagate to all 6 rules atomically.

Verified locally on macOS Python 3.13:
  - py_compile clean.
  - 45-test existing smoke + extensibility suite still passes.
  - 151 new parametrized tests in test_xss_gate.py (added to internal
    test suite this PR doesn't ship): each gated rule x every
    JS-family extension accepts, x every non-JS path (.md / .py /
    .yaml / .json / .txt / .html / Dockerfile / Makefile / .gitignore
    / .sh / .go / .rs / .rb) rejects. 196 tests pass total.

Doesn't address everything in the false-positive cluster — issues that
require Python-rule gating (#1114 .env.schema exec), tighter substring
scoping (#660 pickle in usernames), or hook-protocol changes (#1358
exit-2 vs warning, #1375 plain-text-vs-JSON output) need separate PRs.
This PR covers the JS-substring subset cleanly.
