dan-claude-bot 8598cf96fe fix: grant the 'incus' membership to incus-admin members too (#101 review)
The previous revision skipped `usermod -aG incus` for an incus-admin member,
reasoning that 'incus' is a strict subset of what incus-admin already opens.
That is true of the daemon API and false of the filesystem. On Debian 13 /
Incus 6.0.4 the two sockets are two files with two owning groups:

  /var/lib/incus/unix.socket       group incus-admin  0660
  /var/lib/incus/unix.socket.user  group incus        0660

incus-admin opens the first and not the second, and only the second
provisions a user-<uid> project. So for the incus-admin-ONLY user — the
canonical #99 case — the pinned provisioning touch took EACCES, the `|| true`
swallowed it, no project appeared, and the grant died blaming a healthy
incus-user. Both reviewers converged on this independently and were right.

The membership is now granted for everyone, with output carrying the concern
the old no-op was built around (it is the key to a file, not a privilege;
box_tier still reads them as admin). Everything downstream moves with it:

- the backout rolls that membership back and verified, while refusing to call
  the rollback a lockout — incus-admin is untouched and still opens the host
- revoke's bare path takes the membership back and reports `partial:` instead
  of "no-op, nothing was taken", still declining to call them "out"
- grant's closing "gpasswd -d <user> incus-admin (no re-grant needed)" is now
  a true promise: they keep 'incus', so the drop lands them in their project
- the socket existence probe goes through $SUDO, matching revoke's measured
  discipline about /var/lib/incus lying to a non-root admin

Tests: the cli.sh assertions that encoded the old no-op design are flipped and
the decision is pinned at the seam that broke; the sudo shim now runs `test`
for real in both directions. Because the shims model neither INCUS_SOCKET nor
permissions and so cannot reproduce the EACCES, drill/multiuser.sh gains
criterion (o): an incus-admin-only member granted on real Incus in CI, with
the membership, the project, a live connect() to unix.socket.user, and the
post-drop landing all measured.

Mutation-checked: 11 of the new/flipped assertions fail against the previous
implementation.
