feat(mcpd): async inference task API + tasks RBAC resource (v5 Stage 3)

Exposes the durable queue (Stage 1+2) as a first-class API so callers
can enqueue work, get a task id immediately, and poll/stream/cancel
without holding open the original HTTP connection.

New endpoints (`/api/v1/inference-tasks`):

  POST   /                  → enqueue, return task id (201 + row).
                              failFast:false — task stays pending if no
                              worker is up; future bindSession drains.
                              Rejects 400 for public Llms (the existing
                              /llms/<name>/infer is the right tool there)
                              and 404 for missing Llms.
  GET    /                  → list owner's tasks. Optional ?status,
                              ?poolName, ?agentId, ?limit query.
                              Owner-scoped at the route layer; cross-
                              user listing requires resource-wide grant.
  GET    /:id               → poll one task. 404 (not 403) on a
                              foreign-owner id to prevent enumeration.
  DELETE /:id               → cancel a non-terminal task. Already-
                              terminal rows return 200 + current shape
                              (no-op). 404 on foreign owner.
  GET    /:id/stream        → SSE feed of `chunk` and `terminal` events.
                              Re-fetches the row at subscribe time so
                              already-completed tasks emit one terminal
                              event and close immediately.

RBAC:

- New `tasks` resource added to RBAC_RESOURCES + the URL→permission
  map in main.ts. Default action mapping: GET=view, POST=create,
  DELETE=delete. The route layer enforces owner-scoping ON TOP of
  the hook (404 on foreign owner) — without this, anyone with
  `view:tasks` could list/peek every user's queued work.
- Singular alias `task` and the multi-word `inference-task` /
  `inference-tasks` all normalize to `tasks` so users can write
  `mcpctl create rbac-binding --resource task --role view ...` or
  any of the variants and have it map correctly.

Tests: 9 new route tests covering the wire shapes, owner scoping
(matching/foreign), public-Llm rejection, missing-Llm 404, list
filter, and cancel semantics (pending→cancelled, terminal→no-op).
mcpd 893/893 (was 884, +9). Live smoke: POST against a public Llm
returns the documented 400, POST against missing returns 404, GET
list returns [] cleanly.

Stage 4 (next): CLI surface (`mcpctl get tasks`, `--async` flag on
chat-llm), GC ticker, smoke test (enqueue → connect worker →
drain), docs.

+/**
+ * v5 async inference task API. Exposes the durable queue that Stage 2
+ * landed under the existing infer/chat paths. Use cases:
+ *
+ *   - Kick off a long-running inference from a script that exits
+ *     (cron, CI, Slack bot) — the script keeps the task id and a
+ *     follow-up reads the result.
+ *   - Enqueue work for a pool whose workers aren't online yet — the
+ *     task waits for whichever mcplocal binds next.
+ *   - Watch a long task's chunks via SSE without holding open the
+ *     original infer-route HTTP request.
+ *
+ * RBAC: piggybacks on the new `tasks` resource (see main.ts
+ * mapUrlToPermission). Owner scoping is enforced in the route layer
+ * because the service is RBAC-blind by design — listing your own
+ * tasks needs only `view:tasks` (every authenticated user has that
+ * implicitly through the default role); listing across users needs
+ * the resource-wide grant. We return 404 (not 403) on a foreign
+ * task id to avoid id-enumeration via differential status codes,
+ * same shape the chat-thread routes use.
