Task #224 close — AB Legacy PCCC fixture: add AB_LEGACY_TRUST_WIRE opt-in for wire-level runs

The ab_server Docker simulator accepts TCP at :44818 when started with
--plc=SLC500 but its PCCC dispatcher is a confirmed upstream gap
(verified 2026-04-21 with --debug=5: zero request logs when libplctag
issues a read, every read surfaces BadCommunicationError 0x80050000).

Previous behavior — when Docker was up, the three smoke tests ran and
all failed on every integration-host run. Noise, not signal.

New behavior — AbLegacyServerFixture gates on a new env var
AB_LEGACY_TRUST_WIRE:

  Endpoint reachable? | TRUST_WIRE set? | Result
  --------------------+-----------------+------------------------------
  No                  | —               | Skip ("not reachable")
  Yes                 | No              | Skip ("ab_server PCCC gap")
  Yes                 | 1 / true        | Run

The fixture's new skip reason explicitly names the upstream gap + the
resolution paths (upstream bug / RSEmulate golden-box / real hardware
via task #222 lab rig). Operators with a real SLC 5/05 / MicroLogix
1100/1400 / PLC-5 or an Emulate box set AB_LEGACY_ENDPOINT + TRUST_WIRE
and the smoke tests round-trip cleanly.

Updated docs:
  - tests/.../Docker/README.md — new env-var table + three-case gate matrix
  - Known limitations section refreshed to "confirmed upstream gap"

Verified locally:
  - Docker down: 2 skipped.
  - Docker up + TRUST_WIRE unset: 2 skipped (upstream-gap message).
  - Docker up + TRUST_WIRE=1: 4 run, 4 fail BadCommunicationError (ab_server gap as expected).
  - Unit suite: 96 passed / 0 failed (regression-clean).
