CRITICAL FIX: Enable auto-mitigation of SYN attacks

Root Cause:
SYN detection writes to individual IP files (ip_1_1_1_1) but auto_mitigation_engine()
ONLY reads from centralized ip_data file. This architectural mismatch meant:
- SYN-detected IPs were scored and flagged
- But auto-mitigation never saw them
- IPs with score 80+ were never automatically blocked!

Solution:
- Added write_ip_data_to_file() call to persist SYN data to centralized ip_data
- write_ip_data_to_file() appends to ip_data atomically
- auto_mitigation_engine() now sees and blocks SYN attacks at score 80+

Impact:
- SYN attacks are now properly auto-blocked within 5-10 seconds of detection
- Completes the SYN attack lifecycle: detect → score → persist → block

Line Changed: 2905
Type: Data flow connectivity bug
