feat: EU AI Act Article 5 policy template for prohibited practices detection (#21342)

* Add 6 new EU PII patterns for GDPR compliance

- fr_nir: French Social Security Number (NIR/INSEE) with validation
- eu_iban_enhanced: Enhanced IBAN detection with specific format
- fr_phone: French phone numbers (+33, 0033, 0 formats)
- eu_vat: EU VAT identification numbers (all 27 member states)
- eu_passport_generic: Generic EU passport format
- fr_postal_code: French postal codes with contextual keywords

* Add GDPR Art. 32 EU PII Protection policy template

- Comprehensive GDPR Article 32 compliance policy
- 4 guardrail groups: National IDs, Financial, Contact Info, Business IDs
- Masks French NIR/INSEE, EU IBANs, French phones, EU VAT numbers
- Includes EU passport numbers and email addresses
- Medium complexity template with indigo icon

* Add comprehensive tests for EU PII patterns

- Test French NIR validation (sex digit, month range)
- Test enhanced IBAN detection (French, German)
- Test French phone number formats
- Test EU VAT numbers
- Test generic EU passport format
- Test French postal code pattern

* Add EU pattern loading and category validation tests

- Verify all 6 EU PII patterns are loaded correctly
- Verify patterns are categorized as 'EU PII Patterns'
- Ensure pattern loading consistency

* Add end-to-end tests for GDPR policy template

- 4 tests for PII that should be masked (NIR, IBAN, phone, VAT)
- 4 tests for text that should pass through (invalid patterns, no PII)
- 1 bonus test for multiple PII types in same message
- All tests verify correct masking behavior

* Add region field to policy templates

- Added region field to all 6 templates (EU, AU, Global)
- Updated both main and backup JSON files
- Enables region-based filtering in UI

* Add region filter to policy templates UI

- Added Radio.Group filter for regions (All, AU, EU, Global)
- Efficient filtering with useMemo hooks
- Clean button-based UI matching existing design
- Defaults missing regions to Global

* feat: add EU AI Act Article 5 policy template

Add policy template for detecting EU AI Act Article 5 prohibited practices using conditional keyword matching.

Coverage:
- Article 5.1.c: Social scoring systems
- Article 5.1.f: Emotion recognition in workplace/education
- Article 5.1.h: Biometric categorization of protected characteristics
- Article 5.1.a: Harmful manipulation techniques
- Article 5.1.b: Vulnerability exploitation

Implementation:
- Uses proven conditional matching pattern (identifier + block words)
- 10 always-block keywords for explicit violations
- 8 exceptions for research/compliance/entertainment
- Zero cost (<5ms), no external APIs, 100% private

* feat: add EU AI Act guardrail config example

Example configuration showing how to enable EU AI Act Article 5 guardrail.

* test: add 40 test cases for EU AI Act Article 5

Comprehensive test coverage:
- 10 always-block keywords (explicit violations)
- 15 conditional matches (identifier + block word)
- 8 exceptions (research, compliance, entertainment)
- 7 no-match cases (legitimate uses)

Tests validate correct blocking/allowing behavior for Article 5 prohibited practices.

* Fix: support standalone conditional matching without inherit_from

- Updated loading logic to activate conditional matching when either:
  1. identifier_words + inherit_from (existing pattern)
  2. identifier_words + additional_block_words (new standalone pattern)
- Modified _load_conditional_category to handle standalone templates
- EU AI Act template now works properly without inherit_from
- All 45 tests passing

Fixes Greptile feedback: conditional matching now activates for templates
that define additional_block_words without requiring inherit_from

* fix: address Greptile code review feedback (2/5 score)

- patterns.json: add keyword_pattern to eu_vat and eu_passport_generic
- patterns.json: fix fr_phone pattern with leading word boundary
- patterns.json: fix eu_iban_enhanced regex efficiency
- policy_templates.json: remove country-specific passport patterns from GDPR template
- policy_templates_backup.json: sync with main templates file
- test_gdpr_policy_e2e.py: update test setup and fix VAT test text

All tests now pass. Keyword guards prevent false positives.

* Fix: address Greptile pattern feedback

- Fix fr_phone: use negative lookbehind (?<!\d) to prevent false matches in digit strings
- Add keyword_pattern to eu_passport_generic to reduce false positives
- Add keyword_pattern to eu_vat for contextual matching

All pattern tests passing

* Update litellm/proxy/guardrails/guardrail_hooks/litellm_content_filter/patterns.json
