ScreenTinker 48902f6807 feat(roles): add cross-org platform_operator staff role (#13)
platform_operator is cross-org STAFF: it can see and act-as into every
org and read/write workspace-scoped resources (content, playlists,
layouts, schedules, devices, widgets, kiosk) anywhere - but holds NO
owner-level power.

Design is deny-by-default: operator is NEVER added to PLATFORM_ROLES /
isPlatformRole, so every owner capability (billing, org/workspace
deletion, user/role management, shared & template asset curation,
branding, workspace member mgmt/rename) stays denied, and any NEW owner
endpoint added later inherits that denial automatically.

Operator gets power from exactly two levers:
- middleware/auth.js: new PLATFORM_STAFF set + isPlatformStaff(); owner
  guards (PLATFORM_ROLES, requireAdmin, requireSuperAdmin) unchanged.
- tenancy.js: accessContext + resolveTenancy treat staff as act-as
  capable; new req.isPlatformStaff / req.isPlatformOperator (req.isPlatformAdmin
  stays owner-only); accessibleWorkspaceIds + switch-workspace guard use staff.
- permissions.js: canRead/canWrite + canAccessWorkspace (read) grant staff;
  canAdmin / canAdminWorkspace / isOrgAdmin / isOrgOwner stay owner-gated.

Read-only edges (per review): operator may VIEW workspace member lists
(canAccessWorkspace) and the unassigned device pool (devices.js), but
cannot mutate either.

Frontend: platform role dropdown adds "Platform operator"; the user-mgmt
view stays isPlatformAdmin-gated so operators can't open it. EN i18n only.

Behaviour identical under HOSTED_INSTANCE set or unset.
