feat(17-01): menu item type registry and dependent dropdown binding

- pact: HasMenuItemTypes, MenuItemType, MenuItemReference, MenuItemResolve,
  ResolvedMenuItem, MenuItemAlternate, DependentOptionsProvider,
  DependentOptionSet; Option gains Depth (omitempty)
- signpost (new module): boot-time registry with fail-loud key and pattern
  checks, layered URL patterns incl. PatternFrom for list types, host
  overrides at menu_items.patterns, Resolve and ReferenceOptions
- party: signpost.Activate after postcard, before Boot
- cabana: dependsOn on dropdowns (boot checks, controller-only), GET
  fields/{field}/dependent-options with swag, inventories, conformance case
- companions fixture, TestSignpostSmoke, TestCompanionsDependentSmoke, docs

@@ -38,6 +38,7 @@ Use cases:
- Form-only fields: a controller implementing `pact.FormVirtualFields` lists fields of its `fields.yaml` that are not columns of the form. They are exempt from the column binding, never filled into the model and never part of a record response; the values an administrator submits reach the Form hooks through `cabana.VirtualFieldsFromContext`, only for fields whose `context` allows the operation, and a nested value is a 422 on the field. `type: password` is a masked field that must be listed this way, so a password is sent in a save body and never comes back. A controller implementing `pact.FormRules` supplies the validation rules per operation (`create` or `update`), which replace the model's `Rules()` for admin saves; a rule on a virtual field is checked against the submitted value, never against a model column of the same name. Neither is available on settings forms or relation forms.
- Permission editor: a `type: permissioneditor` field with `mode: radio` (allow `1`, inherit, deny `-1`) or `mode: checkbox` (allow `1`) edits a record's permission set as a JSON object of code to integer. The controller implements `cabana.PermissionEditorProvider`: it returns the offered `cabana.PermissionOption` list per request (served on the field as `permissionOptions`, with `locked` for permissions the administrator may not change) and reads and stores the record's values, so the storage shape is the plugin's. A save answers 422 on the field for a value that is not an object of integers, a code that is not offered or a value outside the mode's set, and 403 `forbidden` when a locked code's value changes; stored codes that are not offered are kept. The widget fill contract is unchanged: a widget still writes scalar fields only.
- Markdown and multilingual fields: `type: markdown` edits source on a host text column; `cabana.RenderMarkdown` turns that source into HTML with the pinned goldmark engine and no unsafe HTML, and leftover script or iframe tags, event handlers, or javascript, vbscript or data URLs are rejected; the admin form preview renders through it via POST `/markdown/preview`. `type: mltext`, `type: mltextarea` and `type: mlmarkdown` take a JSON object of locale code to string; `mltextarea` is the multi-line variant and takes `size` like `textarea`. The form schema's `cabana.FormMeta.EnabledLocales` lists every enabled code when a `cabana.TranslationWriter` is published, default locale first and then the other enabled codes in the writer's order, so every ML control opens on the locale stored in the host columns; create seeds an empty string per code, and Show/save replace the host scalar with that map via `hydrateMLRecord` and `TranslationWriter.TranslatedExact` (missing non-default codes stay empty; D-11 fallback is not applied). A GET host string is merged onto the seed so sibling locales are not dropped. The default locale fills the host column; other locales reach a plugin-published `cabana.TranslationWriter` after the host row has a primary key, still inside the controller's permissioned save transaction. Relation-child create, update and show on `cabana.RelationService` use the same lift, apply and `hydrateMLRecord` path as controller save, still with no standalone translate-write route. An unknown field type, including an unknown `ml*` type, fails boot.
- Dependent dropdowns: `dependsOn: <field>` on a `type: dropdown` field names a sibling with a scalar value (the same form, or the same repeater row); the dropdown takes no `options` and its controller implements `pact.DependentOptionsProvider`, else boot fails. GET `.../fields/{field}/dependent-options?values[<sibling>]=<value>` answers `cabana.AdminDependentOptionsResult` (`applies` and the localized `options` with their `depth`); the form schema carries `dependsOn`. A menu or sitemap controller returns `signpost.ReferenceOptions` here, the one admin binding of the [signpost](../signpost/README.md) menu item type registry. Settings and relation forms refuse `dependsOn` (supported in controller forms only).
- Preset fields: `preset` on a `type: text` or `type: mltext` field (a source field name, or a mapping with `field` and `type`, `slug` or `exact`) makes the field follow another text or mltext field of the same form on the create screen until the administrator edits it, per locale for an mltext pair. The schema reports it as `preset` (`cabana.FieldPreset`); the server does not fill the field.
- Server-rendered partials: `headerPartial: <name>` in `config_list.yaml` (a strip above the list) and `type: partial` with `path: <name>` in `fields.yaml` render the template `{ConfigDir}/_<name>.htm` with `html/template` against a view model from the controller's `pact.AdminPartialData`. The result reaches the SPA as an allowlisted node tree, never as an HTML string. A missing or unparsable template, a free-form path or a controller without `pact.AdminPartialData` fails boot.
- Date pickers: a `type: datepicker` field in `fields.yaml` edits a date (`mode: date`, a `lagoon.Date` column), a date and time (`mode: datetime`, the default, a `time.Time` column stored in UTC) or a time of day (`mode: time`, a `lagoon.TimeOfDay` column); pointers to the three types make the value optional. It accepts WinterCMS's `mode`, `format` (a PHP `date()` format, served also as `displayFormat` in the SPA's tokens), `minDate`, `maxDate`, `yearRange`, `firstDay`, `twelveHour` and `ignoreTimezone`; any other key, a format letter with no equivalent, bounds on `mode: time`, `ignoreTimezone` outside `mode: datetime` or a column whose Go type does not match the mode fails boot. The save rechecks `minDate` and `maxDate` on the calendar date and answers 422 on the field. List columns take `type: date` and `type: time` for these columns; when `type` is omitted, a `time.Time` column is compiled as `datetime`, a `lagoon.Date` column as `date` and a `lagoon.TimeOfDay` column as `time`. A struct column that implements `sql.Scanner` or `driver.Valuer` is never taken for a relation.
