fix(commitperclip): stop security gate from hanging the review check (#7847)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The commitperclip review workflow runs a security gate as part of CI
on every PR
> - The security script's header promises it always exits 0 and stays
silent/informational, but PRs that triggered a flag were failing with a
5-minute timeout
> - Two compounding bugs: `findExistingDraftAdvisory` paginated without
an upper bound, and the workflow step did not have `continue-on-error:
true`, so any hang inside the script turned into a hard `review` check
failure that blocked merge
> - This pull request caps the advisory pagination at 20 pages and adds
`continue-on-error: true` to the workflow step, aligning runtime
behavior with the script's documented "always exit 0" contract
> - The benefit is that future PRs flagged by the security gate no
longer block merge on a 5-minute timeout, and the gate stays
silent/informational as intended

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Fixes: #7849

## What Changed

- `.github/workflows/commitperclip-review.yml`: added
`continue-on-error: true` to the `Run security gates` step so a hang or
non-zero exit cannot fail the `review` check (matches the script's
documented "always exit 0" contract).
- `.github/scripts/check-pr-security.mjs`: capped
`findExistingDraftAdvisory` pagination at 20 pages (= 2000 advisories)
and short-circuited with a `console.warn` when the cap is hit; if no
match is found within the cap, callers will simply create a new draft
instead of hanging forever.
- `.github/scripts/tests/check-pr-security.test.mjs`: added a test
asserting the pagination cap is enforced.

## Verification

- `node .github/scripts/tests/check-pr-security.test.mjs` — 31/31 pass,
including the new cap test.
- Step-level guarantee: `continue-on-error: true` makes the `Run
security gates` step non-blocking for the job, so even an unexpected
hang/timeout in this step can no longer fail the `review` check.

## Risks

- Low risk. Pagination cap is a defensive bound; the worst case is a
duplicate draft advisory (acceptable — the workflow continues).
`continue-on-error: true` is exactly what the script header already
promised; the workflow now matches its stated contract.
