Fix three defects a full VM migration exposed

Ran a complete 0.15.5 -> 0.16.14 migration of the smoke VM, driving the
phases in the order the real pipeline will. It worked - all mail intact and
readable afterwards, all ten listeners up, cutover executed for the first
time ever and checkpoint resume exercised - and it exposed three defects.

1. The converted config was installed root-owned while the service runs as
   its own user. Stalwart crash-looped 28 times on "Failed to read data
   store settings: Permission denied", minutes after the mistake and
   nowhere near it. This is the same ownership trap that retired the
   rollback implementation, in a new place: writing files as root is the
   natural thing for a tool running as root to do, and it is wrong every
   time the service is not root.

   Cutover now installs the config itself, copying ownership and mode from
   the config being replaced.

2. v0.16.14 does not serve /api - the endpoint stalwartapi assumed.
   Confirmed against a fully migrated, fully configured, serving instance
   rather than a sandbox: /api, /api/principal and /jmap/ all 404. The JMAP
   endpoint is the one the session document advertises, which is what RFC
   8620 discovery is for.

   The client now discovers it, re-basing the advertised path onto the
   operator's host: a real instance advertises its canonical public URL
   ("https://mail.smoke.test/jmap/") which frequently isn't reachable from
   where this tool runs. The session is authoritative about the path; the
   operator is authoritative about the host.

3. Dispatching on the urn:stalwart:jmap capability was wrong, because
   NEITHER version advertises it - not 0.15.5, and not a fully migrated
   0.16.14. That sent 0.16 instances down the 0.15 REST path where every
   call 404s. The client probes what the instance actually serves instead.
   Less elegant than a declared capability, with the advantage of being
   true.

Also: a JMAP "forbidden" now explains itself. An account holding the admin
role before the migration was refused x:Account/query afterwards, and a
bare "forbidden" gives an operator nowhere to start. Whether the role
failed to carry or v0.16 wants different permissions was not isolated, and
that question is recorded as open - it gates quota recalculation and any
post-migration validation.

Verified against both live instances: the 0.15.5 reports 3 accounts and its
domain over REST, and the migrated 0.16.14 routes to JMAP, finds the right
endpoint, and returns the explained refusal.
