Announcing antivirus in Cloudflare Gateway

Summary
Introduced antivirus scanning for inbound file downloads within Cloudflare Gateway. This feature scans files at the edge, blocks malicious downloads, and logs details such as the download URL, SHA-256 hash, and the fact that the file was blocked due to malware. This adds an inline malware detection layer to complement existing DNS filtering and HTTP traffic inspection.
