Add explicit close_pr capability resolution and gated PR close path (Issue #216)

PR closure had no first-class capability: agents could close PRs through
gitea_edit_pr(state=closed) with no close-specific capability proof, and
gitea_resolve_task_capability(close_pr) failed as unknown, leaving the
broad edit path as an untracked close fallback.

Add close_pr to the resolver TASK_MAP (gitea.pr.close, author-side) and
gate gitea_edit_pr(state=closed) on the same operation: without it the
close fails closed before any auth or API call, with reasons and a
structured permission_report; with it the close proceeds and is audited
as a distinct close_pr action carrying the required capability. Reject
invalid state values outright so case variants cannot bypass the gate.
Generalize the profile gate helper (_profile_operation_gate) and document
the PR comment / PR edit / PR close capability split.

## PR edits versus PR closure (#216)
Editing a pull request and closing one are different capabilities:
- **PR edits** (`gitea_edit_pr` with `title`/`body`/`base`, or reopening with
`state="open"`) stay on the ordinary edit path and need no dedicated
capability.
- **PR closure** (`gitea_edit_pr` with `state="closed"`) requires the
distinct `gitea.pr.close` operation. The resolver task is `close_pr`
(`gitea_resolve_task_capability(task="close_pr")`, author-side). Without
`gitea.pr.close` the close attempt fails closed — no API call, structured
`permission_report` — so the broad edit path can never be used as an
untracked close fallback.
- Closures are audited as a distinct `close_pr` action with
`required_permission: gitea.pr.close` in the request metadata, so final
reports can prove exactly which mutation capability was exercised (#191).
`gitea.pr.close` has no legacy alias; spell it canonically. It is not part of
any default profile: the operator grants it deliberately (e.g. for an
explicit operator-directed closure of a contaminated PR). If `close_pr` ever
resolves as unknown, agents must fail closed rather than fall back to the
edit path.
## Identity and fail-closed rules
Before **any** mutating action, a workflow must know both:
