fix(backend): sprint 5 post-review — name fallback, isinstance guards, 400 tests

- create_simulation: name falls back to template.name when template_id provided
  and name is absent/empty (AC-27.1)
- templates POST/PATCH: isinstance(list) check on technique_ids/tactic_ids
  before resolving, returns 400 with clear message
- 5 new tests: unknown technique_id → 400 (POST+PATCH), unknown tactic_id → 400
  (POST+PATCH), name fallback to template.name
- mypy: merged template branch into if/else to eliminate union-attr false positives
