fix(cluster): validate split topology against EFFECTIVE roles, not raw Cluster:Roles

Code review found SplitTopologyTransportValidator read the wrong role view,
defeating its fail-loud purpose two ways:
 (a) Roles-source divergence. AkkaClusterOptions.Roles binds Cluster:Roles
     but falls back to OTOPCUA_ROLES (RoleParser.Parse) when it is empty. A
     node configured with only OTOPCUA_ROLES=driver,cluster-SITE-A genuinely
     carries the cluster role in Akka, yet the validator saw no cluster role
     and passed silently on MeshTransport:Mode=Dps (the documented incident).
 (b) Case. The Cluster:Roles bind path is verbatim while RoleParser.Parse
     lowercases the OTOPCUA_ROLES path; 'Cluster-SITE-A' / 'Driver' / 'Admin'
     slipped past the ordinal checks.

Resolve effective roles the same way the node does — Cluster:Roles, else
RoleParser.Parse(env OTOPCUA_ROLES) exactly as Program.cs — then normalize
both (trim + ToLowerInvariant) before IsClusterRole/driver/admin. The message
still names the ClusterId in the operator's original spelling. Exemption and
all other behaviour unchanged. Contained to the validator.

Tests: OTOPCUA_ROLES-only cluster role on Dps fails; mixed-case roles on Dps
fail; cluster role with neither admin nor driver needs only ClusterClient;
Cluster:Roles wins over a stray OTOPCUA_ROLES. 16/16 green (124/124 project).
