anti a3f1cea2d6 feat(ttp): fetch + verify MITRE ATT&CK LICENSE alongside the bundle
MITRE's ATT&CK Terms of Use require reproducing their copyright +
license alongside any cached copy of ATT&CK data. Today we ship the
bundle but not the license — this commit closes that compliance gap.

- attack_version.py pins ATTACK_LICENSE_URL +
  ATTACK_LICENSE_SHA256 + ATTACK_LICENSE_FILENAME, sourced from the
  same attack-stix-data repo as the bundle.
- attack_stix.py:_fetch_license downloads LICENSE.txt next to the
  bundle. License sha mismatch is logged + refreshed (license text
  gets occasional formatting tweaks; not a security event), unlike
  the bundle which stays fail-closed.
- _ensure_license is the compliance ratchet: resolve_bundle_path
  refuses to return without LICENSE.txt on disk. Override-mode
  (DECNET_ATTACK_BUNDLE) checks for a sibling LICENSE.txt first,
  then DECNET_ATTACK_LICENSE, then the cache dir.
- python -m decnet.ttp.attack_stix license prints the cached license
  to stdout for operator audit.
- loaded_license_path() exposes the active license path read-only.
- tests/ttp/test_attack_license.py covers happy paths (sibling +
  explicit env), refusal when DECNET_ATTACK_LICENSE points at a
  missing file, the CLI subcommand, and the pinned-sha shape.

"""STIX 2.1 backed MITRE ATT&CK lookups.
Replaces the hand-maintained technique-name dict that used to live in
``decnet/ttp/attack_catalog.py``. Single source of truth is the
official ``enterprise-attack-<version>.json`` STIX bundle published by
MITRE; consumers (rule engine, intel lifters, web router, frontend
rollups) call the small public API below instead of reading raw STIX.
Bundle resolution order
-----------------------
1. ``DECNET_ATTACK_BUNDLE`` env var (absolute path to a JSON file).
2. ``<cache_dir>/enterprise-attack-<version>.json`` where ``<cache_dir>``
defaults to ``~/.cache/decnet/attack`` and is overridable with
``DECNET_ATTACK_CACHE_DIR``.
3. Fetch from :data:`decnet.ttp.attack_version.ATTACK_BUNDLE_URL` into
the cache dir.
In every case the loaded bytes are verified against
:data:`decnet.ttp.attack_version.ATTACK_BUNDLE_SHA256` *before* the
bundle is parsed. A mismatch raises :class:`AttackBundleError` and the
loader refuses to serve queries. This is intentional — drift between
DECNET's expected ATT&CK version and what the operator (or a tampered
mirror) actually placed on disk would silently mistag thousands of
events.
Lazy-loading: the bundle (~50 MB) is parsed on first call to any
public function, never at import time. Tests that don't touch ATT&CK
should never pay the cost.
