Task 24 (P2): replaces the P1 Sparkplug Validate() stub (always null) and the
"not available yet" editor placeholder with real groupId/edgeNodeId/deviceId/
metricName authoring, mirroring MqttTagDefinitionFactory.FromSparkplugTagConfig
in both directions -- required ids + optional deviceId, dataType/qos read
strictly but only when present (dataType is optional: the birth certificate
declares it). One rule is deliberately stricter than the factory: group/edge-
node/device ids reject '/', '+', '#' (topic-segment characters a decoded
incoming id can never carry, so an authored one that does can never bind);
metricName is exempt since Sparkplug's own canonical names use '/' (e.g.
"Node Control/Rebirth"). No FullName key is written -- TagConfig carries no
identity under v3, and the plan's snippet asking for one was corrected per the
brief. A SparkplugB tag now survives save/reopen because its descriptor keys
re-infer Mode on load; there was never a 'mode' key to persist.
