fix: is_encrypted_record misses blobs nested inside a list or tuple

both the bounded pass and the unbounded _has_encrypted_field fallback
descended only through dict values, so a blob nested inside a list at
any depth was invisible and the function returned False. reencrypt()
already skips list-nested blobs (documented gotcha), so after rotation
such a blob was stranded under the old key while this audit reported
the record clean - a rotation-data-loss trap once the old wrapped-key
record is deleted. both traversal passes now walk list/tuple items in
addition to dict values; the blob-detection predicate is unchanged.
