MAINT: Standardize garak Doctor default strategy to DEFAULT - #2128

Conversation
Flip the Doctor scenario's default_strategy from ALL to DEFAULT for consistency with the other standardized scenarios (matching WebInjection). Both Policy Puppetry techniques are already tagged "default", so DEFAULT and ALL resolve to the same techniques -- this is a behavior-preserving change and the VERSION is intentionally unchanged (the resume eval-hash derives from the resolved techniques, not the default-strategy label).

nice catch! Although all is the same as default rn, I think this is better in case we add more

Description
Part of standardizing our scenarios.
Flips the garak Doctor scenario's
default_strategyfrom ALL to DEFAULT so it matches the convention used by the other standardized scenarios (e.g. WebInjection). DoctorStrategy already defines a DEFAULT aggregate and both concrete techniques (PolicyPuppetry, PolicyPuppetryLeet) are already tagged "default", so DEFAULT and ALL currently resolve to the same two techniques.This is a behavior-preserving change: a no-strategy run executes the same techniques as before. Its value is consistency and future-proofing — if a non-default technique is added later, ALL and DEFAULT diverge correctly without another change to the default.
VERSION is intentionally left unchanged. The scenario's resume/identity eval-hash is derived from the resolved techniques (plus datasets, params, target, scorer), not from the default_strategy label, so resolving to the same techniques means the hash is unchanged and existing results still resume. Bumping the version would only cause spurious invalidation.
Tests and Documentation
DoctorStrategy.ALLexplicitly (previously it relied on the default), so ALL and DEFAULT are both covered.All doctor unit tests pass; ran ruff, ruff format, and ty clean.
Documentation: none needed — no user-facing docs reference the Doctor default strategy.
