fix(guardrails): check every Akto attachment source and keep more prompt text in scope

- check all of a file or image block's sources (file_data, file_url, file_id), since providers pick different ones
- send Anthropic search_result blocks to the file check as text
- keep document title and context, and legacy functions, in the checked request
- take the client IP from the proxy's requester_ip_address before client forwarding headers
- read litellm_params identity only from server-side call details
