fix(detection-lifecycle): fix timezone naive/aware mismatch and duplicate technique mapping

- Replace datetime.now(timezone.utc) with datetime.utcnow() in _now() across
  all three Phase 8 files to match DB DateTime column type (naive UTC)
- Guard POST /assets/{id}/techniques/{tid} against duplicate mappings:
  if mapping already exists, update coverage_type/confidence_level instead
  of inserting a duplicate row
