fix(e2e): fix keyword routing E2E test accuracy

This commit fixes keyword routing accuracy issues in two E2E test profiles:

1. ai-gateway profile (rule-condition-logic test):
   - Fixed incorrect test case expectations
   - Test accuracy improved from 66.67% (4/6) to 100% (6/6)

2. routing-strategies profile (keyword-routing test):
   - Fixed sensitive_data rule to require only 2 keywords instead of 3
   - Removed problematic exclude_spam rule using NOR operator
   - Implemented x-vsr-matched-keywords response header feature
   - Category accuracy improved from 63.64% (7/11) to 100% (11/11)

The x-vsr-matched-keywords header implementation adds:
- Header constant in pkg/headers/headers.go
- VSRMatchedKeywords field to RequestContext
- ClassifyWithKeywords() method in keyword classifier
- MatchedKeywords field to SignalResults and DecisionResult
- Response header population in processor_res_header.go

All changes are backward compatible and limited to test configurations
and new observability features.
