fix(restart): require both authorizations for apply, correct coordinator doc

Addresses the two blockers raised in the PR #886 review (comment 16559) for
issue #663.

B1 — apply_authorized ignored restart-class authorization.

The #663 restart-class matrix and the #661 drain-proof hard gate are
independent authorizations that first coexisted when PR #882 landed on
master and this branch merged it. The union preserved both, but the apply
decision consulted only the drain gate:

    payload["apply_authorized"] = gate.allow

so a clean drain proof — or an authorized break-glass, which needs no proof
at all — reported apply_authorized: True for a class the least-privilege
matrix had just denied, in the same payload carrying allow_restart: False
and "role 'author' may not request full_mcp_restart". One environment
variable therefore collapsed the whole nine-class matrix for the apply
decision, including host_restart.

The apply decision is now the conjunction of both authorizations, and
apply_gate carries drain_gate_allow and restart_class_authorized so a denial
is attributable to the authorization that produced it. Break-glass keeps its
purpose — bypassing the drain proof — and never bypasses the class matrix.
No existing fail-closed behaviour is weakened: allow_restart, drain-proof
verification, fingerprint binding, and requester authorization are untouched.

B2 — docs/mcp-restart-coordinator.md described pre-#661 behaviour.

The document still called the drain proof "a separate child" and omitted
drain_proof_json and request_break_glass from the published signature, so a
safety document asserted there was no gate where a gate now exists. It now
documents both parameters, states that the gate executes inside this tool,
and records dry-run versus apply behaviour, authorization ordering, the
break-glass scope, and fail-closed conditions as implemented.

Regression coverage.

tests/test_issue_886_apply_authorization_conjunction.py exercises the MCP
tool itself, which previously had no test at all — that absence is why the
defect shipped. It pins both conjunction directions, proves a clean proof
cannot override a role, approval, unknown-class, or missing-target denial,
proves break-glass does not collapse the matrix for any worker role or
restricted class, and proves the existing scoped and unscoped paths and the
#661 denials still hold. Against the pre-fix tree 24 of these fail; against
this commit all 19 pass with 45 subtests.

tests/test_mcp_restart_governance_docs.py now binds the published signature
to inspect.signature() of the real tool and forbids the stale pre-#661
phrasing, so the drift that produced B2 cannot return unnoticed.

Verification: targeted restart/drain/governance/webui suites 194 passed,
113 subtests. Full suite 23 failed, 5230 passed, 6 skipped, 912 subtests —
the failure set is identical to the reviewed baseline at 9bc021e
(23 failed, 5201 passed), with +29 passing from the added tests and no new
or changed failure. Zero conflict markers; py_compile passes; the #882
union remains intact in both directions.
