David Muñoz Rey 57150091d2 fix(ghidra): name the declared-seed recovery when no function covers an address (#10623)
Problem: code that Ghidra auto-analysis never reaches, such as DOS MZ
handlers stored only in runtime-filled dispatch tables, has no Ghidra
function. procedure_* lookups then returned a plain procedure_not_found
whose remediation pointed only at list_procedures, and
resolve_containing_procedure returned not_in_procedure with no caveat.
Neither outcome named the supported recovery: declaring the entry as a
function seed in REA_GHIDRA_SEED_FILE.

Fix: one Ghidra-owned recovery, ghidraFunctionSeedRecovery(source), names
the seed mechanism without claiming that the address holds code. It
follows the session source, because seeds apply only to a fresh import:
selected projects and owned checkpoints name the setting to unset first.
The procedure_not_found remediation appends it. A not_in_procedure
resolution now carries ghidraNotInProcedureLimitation, attached through
the same absence-caveat path as the empty-reference caveats and read from
the domain containing-procedure parser. outside_segments and found
results are unchanged. The installation guide's seed section says where
the recovery appears.

Validation: src/ghidra/GhidraProvider.behavior.test.ts fails on the base
(4 failed, 291 passed: both procedure_not_found rows lack the setting,
the selected-project row lacks the fresh-import seed recovery, and
not_in_procedure has no seed limitation) and passes after the fix
(295 passed). npm run check:fast passes. Real Ghidra, including seeding
real-mode DOS linear addresses, was not exercised.
