feat(secrets): opt-in SQL-Server hub replication for the host secret store

Routes both host-container secret registrations (central role in Program.cs,
site role in SiteServiceRegistration) through a new SecretsRegistration
composition seam that optionally enables ZB.MOM.WW.Secrets.Replicator.SqlServer
hub-replication mode: each node keeps a LOCAL store that syncs bidirectionally
with a shared central SQL hub, so a site cluster keeps resolving secrets
straight through a WAN outage to central.

OPT-IN GATE (the load-bearing part). AddZbSecretsSqlServerReplication validates
its options EAGERLY at registration time, so wiring it unconditionally would
make ScadaBridge fail to START anywhere Secrets:SqlServer:ConnectionString is
unset -- every dev box, every docker node, every existing deployment. The
SQL-Server package is therefore only touched when BOTH Secrets:Replication:
Enabled is true AND a non-blank connection string is present; otherwise the
registration is byte-identical to the previous plain AddZbSecrets call.
Enabled-without-a-connection-string falls back to local-only and logs a warning
rather than failing the node or silently looking healthy.

BOOTSTRAP CYCLE. The hub connection string is itself a secret and can never come
from the hub -- a node cannot read the hub to learn how to reach the hub. It must
arrive from outside the replicated set: an environment variable, or a ${secret:}
reference seeded in that node's own LOCAL store. appsettings.json therefore ships
ConnectionString empty with a _comment saying so (leaf keys starting with '_' are
skipped by the reference expander, verified in SecretReferenceExpander). No real
connection string is committed. The pre-host ${secret:} expander in Program.cs is
deliberately left on a plain local SQLite store for the same reason.

Per-node docker appsettings are intentionally NOT modified -- replication stays
off there for now.

Tests written before the wiring and confirmed red first (2 failed / 4 passed),
green after (6/6). They BUILD a container and RESOLVE from it rather than
asserting over ServiceDescriptors: a decorator can look correct as a descriptor
list and still throw on first resolve because the undecorated concrete store it
depends on is missing -- that exact defect shipped once in this library with all
descriptor-level tests green, so the undecorated SqliteSecretStore gets its own
resolution test.

Verified: Host.Tests 285/285 pass; full build (all projects except the
pre-existing AngleSharp NU1902 CentralUI.Tests restore break) 0 warnings,
0 errors.
