FEAT Wire frontend attack view to backend APIs

[romanlutz]

Add target management and real attack execution to the PyRIT frontend, replacing the echo stub with live backend communication.

Backend:

• Add attack CRUD endpoints (create, list, get, messages, add message)
• Replace target_unique_name with target_registry_name across models, routes, services, and mappers for clarity
• Add TargetInfo model to nest target metadata in AttackSummary
• Add target_registry_name to AddMessageRequest so the backend stays stateless (no reverse lookups from attack identifier)
• Move lifespan init to pyrit_backend CLI; main.py warns if run directly

CLI:

• Add FrontendCore.run_initializers_async() to consolidate initializer resolution used by both pyrit_backend and run_scenario_async
• Move all deferred imports to module level in frontend_core.py
• Refactor pyrit_backend to use FrontendCore two-step init pattern (initialize_async + run_initializers_async)

Frontend:

• Add Config page with target list, create target dialog, and set-active-target flow
• Wire ChatWindow to attacksApi: lazy attack creation on first message, send via PromptNormalizer, map backend responses to UI messages
• Add messageMapper utils (backend DTO <-> frontend Message conversion)
• Add full backend DTO types mirroring pyrit/backend/models
• Support simulated_assistant role, error rendering, loading indicators, and media attachments (image/audio/video)

Tests:

• Add/update 300+ backend unit tests covering attack service, mappers, target service, API routes, and main lifespan
• Add 150+ frontend tests covering ChatWindow, TargetConfig, CreateTargetDialog, MessageList, api service, and messageMapper
• Update test_frontend_core patch targets to match top-level imports

pyrit/memory/sqlite_memory.py:1

• This function used to return the exists().where(...) condition, but now assigns it to labels_subquery and never returns it. That will cause callers to append None to SQLAlchemy conditions and break attack filtering by labels. Return labels_subquery (or inline it back into a return statement).
