Dismiss a security alert

PATCH/api/public/v1/alerts/{alert_id}/dismiss

Idempotent. Dismissal releases the row from the dedup unique index (`uq_security_alerts_org_event_active is partial on dismissed_at IS NULL`) so a future verdict on the same event creates a fresh row instead of upserting onto the dismissed one.
