feat(rapid7-insightidr): the investigation, with its alerts inlined (v1.4.0)

The previous command returned the alerts as its result rows, which quietly
changed the unit: an investigation holding three alerts would have become three
incidents. The investigation is what an analyst opens and what the SOC tracks —
it stays the incident, and the alerts are its content.

get_investigations_full walks the same three hops and inverts the shape:
investigations under `data`, each carrying its alerts under `alerts` plus an
alert_count. results_path=data and dedup_key=rrn, so it is a drop-in replacement
for list_investigations in an existing ingestion rule — only the command name
and the mapper change.

A few first-alert values are also lifted to the top level, and that is not
cosmetic. MapFields resolves dotted paths only and cannot index an array, so
`alerts[0].ai_suggested_disposition` in a field_mappings entry reads as nothing
— silently, leaving the custom field empty with no error anywhere. Three custom
fields were empty for exactly that reason until an end-to-end run showed it. The
ocsf section has no such limit: it is evaluated by full JSONata and indexes
freely, which is why the host and process mappings worked while the custom
fields did not.

The mapper maps the investigation first and the first alert after, so the alert
wins wherever the container says nothing. It also lands every alert — not just
alerts[0] — as OCSF-shaped objects under `evidences`, because the extractor
walks arrays and classifies on the path suffix: an investigation aggregating
two alerts on two machines now indexes both hosts, where reading alerts[0]
alone would have indexed one and silently dropped the other.

Verified end to end against the investigation that started this, with a second
alert added on another host: field mapping, OCSF mapping and entity extraction.
Both hosts are indexed. With the incident type's extraction policy set to
selected/host,ip,user, the entity set is exactly those two — the alert RRN's
32-hex suffix, which the IOC regex cannot tell from an MD5, is filtered out
there.

description: |
Maps one Rapid7 investigation fetched with its alerts inlined
(get_investigations_full, results_path = data) to OCSF finding fields.
The plain investigation feed cannot carry a detection: idr/v2/investigations answers
with a title, a priority, a status, an assignee and timestamps, and nothing else. An
incident built from it indexes zero entities. This mapper reads the same investigation
plus the alerts the command inlined under `alerts`, where the detection content
actually lives.
Investigation values are mapped first and the first alert's equivalents after, so the
alert wins wherever the container says nothing. `alerts` is empty on an investigation
whose alerts could not be read (the command sets alerts_error) — every alert path then
resolves to nothing and is skipped, and the incident degrades to what the investigation
alone says rather than failing.

# toSeverity maps CRITICAL→5, HIGH→4, MEDIUM→3, LOW→2; anything else falls back to the
# alert rule's default severity.
