Implements #253's framework: a small core capability registry
(steward/core/capabilities.py) where a module/plugin publishes a named,
role-gated action and a consumer discovers it via has_capability() and runs it
via invoke_capability() — no hard import, graceful degradation, permission
propagation (actor role checked against the capability's required_role).
Core publishes "ansible.run_playbook" (operator) wrapping ansible.runner.
trigger_run (extended to accept a caller-built inventory). First consumer: the
host_agent plugin gains "Deploy via Ansible" on its settings page — pick an
inventory target/group and it installs/updates the agent via the bundled
host_agent/install.yml, minting a fresh token per host and injecting it as an
inventory hostvar (turning per-host curl|sh into one run). Exposed role
ordering as middleware.role_meets. Unit tests for the registry + role checks.
Task #253 (milestone #37).
