agentnetwork: scope model allowlist per policy/group and provider

The model-allowlist guardrail was merged into one account-wide union
and enforced flat on every request, independent of which policy,
group, or provider actually authorised it. With multiple policies —
especially a mix of guardrailed and un-guardrailed ones — this
produced two defects:

  - false-allow: a model allowlisted for one group/provider leaked to
    any caller, because the flat union ignored which policy authorised
    the request; and
  - false-deny: a policy with no guardrail (intended unrestricted) had
    its traffic blocked by an unrelated policy's allowlist.

Make enforcement policy/group-aware, mirroring how llm_limit_check
already resolves caps:

  - Management (SelectPolicyForRequest) is authoritative. It now uses
    the request model (already carried on the wire in
    CheckLLMPolicyLimitsRequest.model, previously ignored) to keep only
    the applicable policies whose guardrails permit the model; a policy
    with no allowlist-enabled guardrail is unrestricted. When policies
    govern the (provider, groups) but none permits the model it denies
    with llm_policy.model_blocked. No proto change — the field already
    existed and the proxy already sends it.

  - The proxy llm_guardrail becomes a per-provider fail-closed backstop.
    The synthesiser emits a per-provider allowlist only when every
    policy authorising that provider restricts models; a provider
    reachable by any un-guardrailed policy is omitted (unrestricted).
    The middleware keys the allowlist by the resolved provider id and
    keeps the unknown/undetermined-model fail-closed behaviour so
    path-routed providers stay enforced when management is unreachable.

Unit tests cover the selector gate (block, allow, cross-group no-leak,
un-guardrailed policy unrestricted, undetermined-model fail-closed) and
the per-provider synthesis; an e2e proves all three properties end to
end over the tunnel. Docs updated for the new config shape and the
two-layer enforcement.

// TestGuardrailMultiPolicyModelAllowlist is the end-to-end regression guard for
// the multi-policy interactions of the model-allowlist guardrail: what happens
// when several enabled policies govern an account and some carry a guardrail
// while others don't. The earlier implementation merged every policy's allowlist
// into ONE account-wide union enforced flat on every request, which produced two
// defects this test pins:
//
// - false-ALLOW (cross-group leak): a model allowlisted only for another
// group's policy became usable by any caller, because the union ignored
// which policy/group actually authorised the request; and
// - false-DENY: a policy with NO guardrail (intended unrestricted) still had
// its traffic blocked by some other policy's allowlist.
//
// The fix scopes enforcement to the matched policy/group in management
// (SelectPolicyForRequest) with a per-provider fail-closed backstop at the
// proxy. The account here has one client in grpMain and three policies over two
// catch-all upstreams (the mock vLLM answers any model 200, so a 403 can only be
// a policy decision, never a routing miss):
//
// - polMain : grpMain -> pRestricted, guardrail allowlisting modelSelected
// - polOther: grpOther -> pRestricted, guardrail allowlisting modelOther
// - polOpen : grpMain -> pOpen, NO guardrail (unrestricted)
//
// Providers declare their models so routing is deterministic. Over the tunnel,
// as the grpMain client:
//
// - modelSelected on pRestricted is served (200) — allowed by grpMain's policy;
// - modelOther on pRestricted is denied 403 (llm_policy.model_blocked) — it is
// allowlisted only for grpOther and must NOT leak to grpMain; and
// - openModel on pOpen is served (200) — the un-guardrailed policy leaves that
// provider unrestricted and must NOT be blocked by another policy's list.
//
// Under the old account-wide union the middle case returned 200 (the leak) and
// the last case returned 403 (the false-deny); both are inverted here.
