Adds the ESC11 coercion and relay relationship analysis, plus backend integration coverage and harness fixtures. Stacked on #3492.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added detection and analysis of NTLM relay paths to Active Directory Certificate Services over RPC.
  • RPC-based certificate authority findings include relevant relay relationships and composition paths.
  • RPC encryption requirements are considered when identifying vulnerable certificate authorities.

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved error handling during NTLM relationship processing to avoid incomplete or inconsistent results.
  • Preserved existing relationship identities and properties when processing is retried after an enumeration failure.

Walkthrough

The change adds RPC-based NTLM-to-AD CS relay analysis and delta tracking alongside HTTP relay relationships. It adds an integration harness and tests for RPC composition, endpoint vulnerability changes, relationship lifecycle, and error handling.

Changes: ADCS RPC relay

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolve RPC relay paths packages/go/analysis/ad/ad.go, packages/go/analysis/ad/ntlm.go	AD analysis routes RPC relay edges to RPC-specific composition and CA lookup. The RPC path requires RPCEncryptionEnforced to be false.
Generate and track relay relationships packages/go/analysis/ad/ntlm.go	NTLM processing tracks RPC relationships alongside HTTP relationships. It selects relationship kinds based on endpoint vulnerability and returns reader-submission, sink-abort, and sink-finalization errors.
Add the RPC relay harness cmd/api/src/test/integration/harnesses.go, cmd/api/src/test/integration/harnesses/CoerceAndRelayNTLMToADCSRPC.json	The integration harness defines an AD CS RPC relay graph with RPC encryption not enforced and registers the harness in HarnessDetails.
Validate RPC relay and delta behavior packages/go/analysis/ad/ntlm_integration_test.go, packages/go/analysis/ad/ntlm_dca_failure_integration_test.go	Integration tests cover HTTP and RPC trust, RPC composition and lifecycle, and preservation of existing relationships after an enumeration failure.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Return the sink result instead of discarding it in a deferred sink.Done().

The helper calls defer sink.Done() and discards its return value. sink.Done() writes the relationships and prunes stale edges. If that write fails, the helper still returns nil. Tests that call setupCoerceAndNTLMToADCS can then pass or fail for the wrong reason, and the real error is lost.

The deferred call also commits partial work after PostCoerceAndRelayNTLMToADCS fails. Production PostNTLM calls Abort() in that case. Use the same lifecycle here: finish operation first, then call Done() on success or Abort() on failure.
