feat(lifecycle): v1.97 PR-05 — CLI dry-run base command

Add nftban lifecycle run --mode=MODE [--dry-run] [--json]:

- Reads real system state: authority (validator), recovery marker (v1.96),
  detection (conflicting firewalls, kernel validity, SSH safety)
- Runs lifecycle engine (pure, no side effects)
- Renders output as text or JSON
- Logs evidence (detect/plan/result) to stderr
- REFUSES --no-dry-run (INV-LC-007: no execution in v1.97)
- Exit 0 for valid plan, exit 1 for failures/aborts

System detection:
- Authority: checks nftban-validate status for health
- Recovery: reads v1.96 rebuild.RecoveryMarker
- Conflicts: checks firewalld/ufw service state
- Kernel: checks nftban table existence via nft list table

No side effects. No nftables mutation. Plan-only.
