feat(post-mcp-verify): E5 — scan SVG desc/title/metadata/foreignObject

SVG containers carry text that is invisible in the rendered image but
fully parsed by an agent reading the source. <desc>, <title>,
<metadata>, and <foreignObject> are all valid surfaces for adversarial
injection.

Adds a per-element extractor inside the existing HTML-tag gate, gated
on /<svg[\s>]/i so it only fires for actual SVG content. Inner text is
HTML-entity-decoded then run through scanForInjection. Emits at the
strongest tier with category svg-element-injection.

+3 tests (62 → 65).
