Route attacker-check reports to root@jayfield.org, add dated archive

root@jayfield.org didn't resolve to anything (missing from both
/etc/aliases and vmail.aliases) - added it as a new alias to
jens@jayfield.org, matching the existing postmaster/hostmaster/
webmaster/wlan pattern, so the weekly report doesn't just bounce.
Also added per-run dated report files under
/var/log/attacker-check/reports/ alongside the existing CSVs, for a
plain-text historical archive browsable by date.

statistics (mean, stdev) between repeat hits.

total events, distinct IPs, distinct `/24`s, new bans.
- `/var/log/attacker-check/reports/<week-ending-date>.txt` — the full
human-readable report for that run, one file per date.

- [x] **Weekly attacker-summary report routing to `root@jayfield.org`** — done 2026-07-26.
`attacker-check.py`'s report email was pointed at `root@jayfield.org`, but that address
didn't resolve to anything (not in `/etc/aliases`, not in `vmail.aliases`) — would have
bounced every week. Added it as a new `vmail.aliases` row → `jens@jayfield.org`, matching
the existing `postmaster`/`hostmaster`/`webmaster`/`wlan` pattern. Also added per-run
dated report files (`/var/log/attacker-check/reports/<date>.txt`), alongside the two
existing append-only CSVs. Verified: `postmap -q root@jayfield.org
mysql:/etc/postfix/sql/aliases.cf` resolves correctly, a live re-run delivered to
`jens@jayfield.org` (`orig_to=<root@jayfield.org>` in the Postfix log) and wrote
`reports/2026-07-26.txt`.
