test(wl_rbac): cover notification-users conf parser + REST 200 branches + defensive checks — G3 batch 1

Item G3 of v1.1 test-coverage push, first batch. Closes the wl_rbac
coverage gap from 54% to 100% (+46pp, +57 covered lines) with 16
new unit tests across 4 new classes:

TestReadNotificationUsersFallback (8 tests, lines 73-94):
  - admins stanza with CSV-separated user list
  - superadmins stanza with whitespace-separated user list
  - missing file → silent []
  - wrong stanza → silent []
  - comments and blank lines skipped
  - non-`users` keys in stanza ignored
  - stanza name case-insensitive
  - open() PermissionError → silent [] (lines 93-94)

TestGetAdminUsersFromRest (2 tests, lines 233-244):
  - REST 200 with admin-tier entries → returns them
  - REST 200 with no admin entries → falls to conf
  Existing TestGetAdminUsers tests returned `(200, ...)` (int) from
  the mock, which made `status.status` raise AttributeError and the
  except block swallow it — those tests were passing via the
  built-in `['admin']` fallback path, not the 200-branch. These new
  tests build a proper status object with `.status = 200` so the
  inside-200 branch actually executes.

TestGetSuperadminUsers (5 tests, lines 273-306, zero prior coverage):
  - REST 200 parses superadmin-tier entries
  - empty session + no conf → returns [] (NOT ['admin'])
  - empty session + conf → conf list
  - REST exception → falls through to conf
  - REST 200 with no superadmin entries → falls to conf

TestGetRolesNonDictSession (1 test, line 169):
  - request['session'] that isn't a dict → return set()

Coverage delta: bin/wl_rbac.py 54% → 100% (0 lines uncovered).
Total bin/ coverage: 1959 → 2015 covered lines.
Tests pass: 642/642 unit (was 628 — added 16, then 644/644 after
the final 2 fill-in tests for lines 93-94 and 169).

wl_rbac is the RBAC security boundary — full coverage is high-value
defense against silent regressions in role-checking logic.
