Description
### Description
I get an exit code of 0 when I run `analyze-build --sarif --status-bugs` on any codebase that has analyzer warnings. The exit code is non-zero if I use `--plist` or `--sarif-html` instead of `--sarif`.
The root cause seems to be that the bug reporting code only analyzes .plist and .html files for bug entries:

### Version info
clang version 20.1.8 on Arch Linux

Research direction
Start in clang/tools/scan-build-py/lib/libscanbuild/report.py around lines 348-357 and reproduce the issue with analyze-build --sarif --status-bugs on a codebase with analyzer warnings. Compare its exit code with --plist and --sarif-html; done means SARIF output also returns a non-zero status when bugs are present.
