This PR fixes a false positive in the codebase where the tool flagged its own regular expressions (text/html, Content-Security-Policy, etc.) in src/websec_validator/extractors/transport_security.py as a web surface missing a strict CSP. This PR fixes the issue by escaping regex patterns (e.g., using text\/html) to prevent them from matching verbatim literal strings in the source.

It also silences the irrelevant docker-no-healthcheck noise on the project's own Dockerfile in .websec-ignore, since the container is short-lived and non-daemon. A regression test test_own_extractor_source_does_not_trigger_csp_fp was added.

Why: To ensure a clean baseline self-scan for websec-validator out of the box and fix extractor bugs where internal regex strings can act as false-positive sinks.
Risk: Low risk. No logic changes were made to how regex patterns actually match targets (due to standard re escaping behavior). The changes only impact how the tool scans its own source.

- Escaped the literal strings in `transport_security.py`'s regex to prevent self-matching.
- Added `Dockerfile` to `.websec-ignore` to silence the irrelevant `docker-no-healthcheck` warning.
- Added regression test `test_own_extractor_source_does_not_trigger_csp_fp`.
- Updated `CHANGELOG.md` with the fix.
