Update README with new security features (v2.2)

Added comprehensive documentation for:
- Auto-Mitigation Engine (Score >= 80/100 blocking)
- Distributed attack detection and blocking (5+ IPs)
- Subnet-level blocking (25+ IPs from same /24)
- IPset kernel-level blocking with batching
- 24 attack signatures with improved accuracy
- Bot classification system
- Multi-source monitoring (HTTP, SSH, Email, FTP, DB, Network)
- No system pollution design (/tmp storage)

Updated version to 2.2.0 with January 2026 highlights.
Enhanced security module documentation in usage examples.

## ✨ Key Features
### 🛡️ Security & Monitoring
- **Live Attack Monitor**: Real-time SOC dashboard with intelligent auto-blocking
- **Auto-Mitigation Engine**: Automatic blocking at Score >= 80 (critical) or >= 100 (instant)
- **Distributed Attack Detection**: Blocks coordinated attacks (5+ IPs, 25+ for subnet-level blocking)
- **24 Attack Signatures**: RCE, SQL injection, XSS, path traversal, SSRF, XXE, credential stuffing, and more
- **IPset Integration**: Kernel-level blocking for instant response (batched for performance)
- **Bot Classification**: Distinguishes legitimate bots (Google, Bing) from AI scrapers and attack tools
- **Attack Scoring System**: Dynamic scoring with volume bonuses and attack severity weighting
- **Multi-Source Monitoring**: HTTP, SSH, Email, FTP, Database, Network attacks in unified dashboard
- **Bot & Traffic Analyzer**: Full bot/threat analysis with pattern detection
- **Live Attack Monitor**: Real-time SOC dashboard with threat classification
- **Specialized Monitors**: SSH attacks, web traffic, firewall activity
- **IP Reputation Manager**: Centralized cross-module IP intelligence with query/tracking
- **Malware Scanner**: ImunifyAV, ClamAV, and Maldet integration
- **Malware Scanner**: ImunifyAV, ClamAV, and Maldet integration with auto-installation
- **cPHulk Integration**: Auto-imports CSF whitelists from all sources
- **Specialized Monitors**: SSH attacks, web traffic, firewall activity
- **Log Viewers**: Live tail for Apache access/error, mail, and security logs
- **Optimized Status Checks**: Uses cached domain status (no redundant HTTP requests)
- **No System Pollution**: All data stored in /tmp (auto-cleanup on reboot, no /var/lib/ files)
### 💾 Backup & Recovery
- **Acronis Cyber Protect**: Complete agent management (install, update, configure, monitor, troubleshoot)
