Review fixes for the opt-in managed GUID ack:

- Subtag-mode GUID acks (forced subtag, or failover on the standby) stay on
  the consumer; their GUIDs are synthetic and only the subtag consumer can
  resolve them. Forced-subtag sessions no longer build a managed client.
- A failed managed Initialize/Register/Subscribe drops back to the wnwrap
  ack path instead of failing the alarm subscription.
- Drop stale crefs to a nonexistent Unverified member in
  WnalNativeAckConsumer.
- Unit tests for routing, fallback, and disposal; document
  MXGATEWAY_USE_MANAGED_ALARM_ACK.

Adds a managed acknowledge path over AVEVA's modern alarm client so GUID
acks carry full operator identity (domain + full name) and work on builds
where the wnwrap COM AlarmAckByGUID is E_NOTIMPL. Default off; opt in with
MXGATEWAY_USE_MANAGED_ALARM_ACK=1 (wnwrap behavior unchanged otherwise).

- AaManagedAlarmAckConsumer: reflection wrapper over
  aaAlarmManagedClient.AlarmClient (InitializeConsumer/RegisterConsumer/
  Subscribe/AlarmAckByGUID); EnvGatedFactory degrades to null (wnwrap) if the
  DLL can't load, so alarm reads never break.
- IManagedAlarmAckClient seam. AlarmDispatcher takes an optional client and
  routes GUID acks to it (subscribing + disposing it alongside the reader).
- AlarmCommandHandler gains an optional managedAckFactory; WorkerPipeSession
  wires AaManagedAlarmAckConsumer.EnvGatedFactory at the production sites.
- WnalNativeAckConsumer: confirmed native alarmlst.dll WNAL submit layer
  (WNALalarmReqSetText / WNALUserRequest / WNALUserRequestEx + lpAlmAck
  layout). List acquisition is intentionally not hand-rolled: the alarm-record
  layout and selection semantics are provider-defined and not recoverable from
  alarmlst.dll, so inferring them risks acking the wrong alarm.
- AlarmManagedGuidAckLiveSmokeTests: skip-gated live smoke that pulls a real
  (non-degraded) alarm GUID and asserts the ack APPLIES (Acknowledge
  transition / acked snapshot), not merely rc=0.

By-name acks stay on wnwrap (AlarmClient has no AlarmAckByName). Grounded in
static RE of alarmlst.dll, aaAlarmManagedClient.dll and alarmmgr.exe.

**Opt-in managed GUID ack.** Setting `MXGATEWAY_USE_MANAGED_ALARM_ACK=1`
in the gateway's environment (workers inherit it) routes GUID-keyed acks
through `aaAlarmManagedClient.AlarmClient.AlarmAckByGUID` instead of the
wnwrap method. That managed method is implemented on this build and
carries operator domain and full name natively. The worker reaches it by
reflection (`AaManagedAlarmAckConsumer`) because the members are
non-public, and runs its own Initialize → Register → Subscribe lifecycle
against the alarm subscription expression. The path is deliberately
conservative:
- If the DLL cannot load or the lifecycle returns a non-zero status, the
worker drops back to the wnwrap ack path; alarm reads never fail
because of it.
- Subtag-mode acks (forced subtag, or failover currently on the standby)
stay on the subtag consumer: their GUIDs are synthetic and only it can
resolve them.
- By-name acks stay on wnwrap — `AlarmClient` has no by-name ack.
A zero return still means *accepted*, not *applied*; a secured
(`MxSecurityOperate`) alarm needs an authenticated operator. The skip-gated
`AlarmManagedGuidAckLiveSmokeTests` asserts the ack actually lands.

The alarm monitor is independent of client sessions: `AcknowledgeAlarm` and

the environment variable `MXGATEWAY_USE_MANAGED_ALARM_ACK=1` on the gateway

// does not define the alarm-record layout — it hands alarmmgr/the provider a

// buffer, scalars) that the PROVIDER fills. So the record's GUID offset and

// meanings live on the provider side of MakeAlarmMgrFuncCall. Hand-rolling the
// acquisition from static RE alone would be guessing which bytes are the
// handle/GUID — a wrong guess acks the wrong alarm.
//
// Therefore DO NOT complete the native acquisition by inference. Obtain the
// hAlarmList + handles from a component that already encapsulates
// register/query/match correctly:
// * Preferred: aaAlarmManagedClient.dll AlarmClient.AlarmAckByGUID
// (int AlarmAckByGUID(Guid, comment, oper, node, domain, fullName)) — the
// Alarm Control's own code; managed signatures are exact (no ABI risk).
// It is internal, so invoke by reflection from the x86 worker.
// * Or drive ack through the existing WnWrapAlarmConsumer, which already
// owns a registered/subscribed consumer, and fix the auth gap (Stage 0).
// Keep the confirmed SUBMIT methods above for the case where a real
// hAlarmList + handles are supplied by such a component.
