Make access edits and approvals survive a concurrent change

Access rules were one row, and every editor read it, changed a field, and
wrote the whole document back with no version check. Two people on the
page at once silently overwrote each other, and the specific case that
mattered was worse than a lost edit: a repository admin's stale settings
save could restore a role an instance admin had just revoked.

The row now carries a revision, and a rule set read through the store
carries the revision it was read at. Writing it back is a
compare-and-swap: if the row moved, the write is refused with ErrConflict
instead of undoing the other change. A rule set built from scratch is a
create and refuses if a row appeared meanwhile, so no stale document can
replace a live one. Existing instances get the column added on open.

On top of that, the operations that own one field apply it to the row as
it is now (Store.Update, retried against a moving row):

  - the repository Settings page writes only the visibility. It no longer
    rewrites entries, runners or the approval policy, so an instance
    admin's revocation survives a page that was loaded before it.
  - adding one account writes that one entry.
  - the access form changes only the rows it rendered; an entry or a
    runners-list membership added while the page was open is kept.

Approvals and runners are also bound to current standing. An approval
counts only while its author is an active account that still holds
maintain or admin on the repository, filtered in FindApprovedMatch and
counted the same way on the request page, so the page cannot promise a
merge the gate then refuses. ACL.CanReport refuses a retired account even
while its name is in the runners list; the row outlives the account, so
membership alone would let a revoked account keep vouching for builds and
leasing jobs. The roster's Active predicate is attached by the store, the
same way the instance role already was, in both the server and the hook
process.

Tests: a stale whole-document write is refused and cannot restore a
revoked role; concurrent field-scoped updates all land; Update reports
the row as it is now; a retired account stops counting as an approver and
as a runner; a demoted maintainer's approval no longer lands a change; a
settings save leaves entries, runners, approval policy and protection
alone; a retired runner's record push is refused.
