fix(guardrails): strip only what the Akto file check sends from the text check

- the text check keeps every attachment field except the ones the file check sends
- document title/context and search_result source/title go to the file check as text, since the /v1/messages text check drops them
- accept every image shape LiteLLM forwards (image_url or url, string or object) and check each source
- ignore blocks whose type is not a string instead of failing the file check
