fix(0006d): enforce homogeneous cluster posture + publish posture on /healthz (audit 0008 N1)

A cluster is only as secure as its weakest node: the data plane forwards every
subject between nodes, so one node running without enforced auth lets an
unauthenticated peer Subscribe(">") on it and harvest the traffic forwarded from
the ACL'd nodes.

- validateClusterConfig now takes the auth mode and REFUSES to join a cluster
  unless --bus-auth enforce, regardless of bind (a clustered node is a production
  node; there is no safe dev cluster without auth). This binary therefore cannot
  BE the weak node.
- Server.Posture {enforce,acl,tls,cluster,store} is published on /healthz (non
  secret operational metadata, probe stays unauthenticated) so a monitor or peer
  can detect a cluster member not running enforce+ACL+TLS — covering a peer that
  runs a tampered/old binary outside this node's control.

Tests:
- TestAttack0008_N1: a clustered node with --bus-auth off is refused; the same
  node with enforce + full route security is allowed.
- TestClusterConfigPolicy: extended with off/soft clustered cases (refused) and
  the mode parameter throughout.
- TestHealthExposesPosture: /healthz returns the posture booleans + store backend.
