fix(ci): gate security review on repo write access (#7986)

🤖 The Codex Security Review gate trusted GitHub's `author_association`
(`MEMBER`/`OWNER`), but GitHub only reports `MEMBER` to viewers who can
see the membership. The workflow `GITHUB_TOKEN` cannot see private
`block` org membership, which is GitHub's default, so most Block
employees read as `CONTRIBUTOR` and their PRs never reviewed
automatically. The same applied to the comment path, where private
members could not authorize a review with `@buzz-security-review <sha>`.

Trust is now repo write access, read from `GET
/repos/{owner}/{repo}/collaborators/{user}/permission` via
`getCollaboratorPermissionLevel`, which is independent of membership
visibility and works with the authorize job's existing `contents: read`
and `pull-requests: read` permissions. A user is trusted only when
`permission` is `write` (which includes `maintain`) or `admin`. A
successful lookup is not enough: on this public repository, an account
with no relationship to it returns `200` with `read`, not 404. Outside
contributors can only push to forks and come back `read`, so they still
need an explicit command from a trusted user.

The check covers the PR author on `pull_request_target`, the commenter
on `issue_comment` (the job-level `author_association` filter is removed
so the trusted script makes that decision), and the stale-marking path
on PR updates. Transient API errors are retried. Authorization fails
closed: any lookup error other than 404 fails the job instead of
authorizing. Stale-marking is conservative: an existing review is always
marked stale without consulting permissions, and a failed lookup counts
as untrusted, so a previous range's review can never appear current for
a new head. A commenter without write access is logged and ignored
instead of failing the run.
