IOC Extractor - Extractor class for extracting IOCs from decompilation results.

This extractor works with in-memory data from DecompileBinja, following the
standard Extractor pattern to support both ClickHouse and PrintExporter (dry-run).

Usage:
    # After DecompileBinja completes:
    ioc_extractor = IOCExtractorFromResults(
        analysis_results=decompiler.analysis_results,
        sha256=sha256,
        log=logger,
        exporters=exporters,
        index_prefix=index_prefix
    )
