test(scheduler-sim-decision-parity): prove capacity-aware parity under contention (task 4.1)

Adds an integration test comparing round-by-round resInUse and scheduling
outcomes between a real driven normal-mode recording and a simulation-mode
replay of the identical contention scenario (worker capacity 10.0, jobs
wanting 8.0/5.0/2.0, plus a 4th job proving cross-round persistence).

Confirmed (by direct read of sim_picker_thread_fn(), independently
re-verified in review) that sim's live picker is structurally PEND-only --
it has no capacity-check/dispatch path for a freshly-evaluated job. This
means task 1.2's single-round fixture cannot be literally replayed-and-
diffed for full parity: that comparison would be tautological for
freshly-arriving jobs (sim always PENDs them regardless of accounting
correctness) and can't prove multi-round persistence anyway. Built instead
as a real recording plus a hand-crafted sim fixture modeling the identical
facts, including an already-resolved-before-replay job to exercise
reconciliation -- the same documented-carve-out approach test_sim_equivalence.c
already established for PEND-only proofs, applied here to reconciled jobs too.

No production code touched (task 3 already completed the feature). RED
phase proven by temporarily reverting task 3's reconciliation call site:
new test failed with "Expected 10 Was 0", restored and green.

48/49 scheduler tests pass; the 1 failure is pre-existing bug-1560
(unrelated).

 - (task 2.4) `xce_decision_t` objects built via `make_dispatch_decision()`/`make_pend_decision()` are never freed anywhere in this codebase on any live path (verified by grep across `scheduler/src/*.c`) -- this is an established, accepted pattern here, not something to "fix" if you see it under `detect_leaks=1`. Don't add a free for it; that would deviate from the codebase's own convention without a broader cleanup pass.
 - (task 3) `get_resvals()` (resource.c) returns `nres` (the count filled in) on success, NOT `0` -- a test-authoring bug (bug-1622, not production) came from assuming the latter. If you write a test against `get_resvals()`, check its actual return-value contract first.
 - (task 3) Feature is now end-to-end wired and independently confirmed working (reviewer removed the call site itself and watched both integration tests fail for the right reason, then restored and watched them pass). Tasks 4.1-4.3 (Validation) can now exercise the real, complete path -- no more "not fully wired yet" caveats apply.
+- (task 4.1) `sim_picker_thread_fn()` is confirmed (by direct read, independently re-confirmed by the reviewer) to be structurally PEND-only -- it has no capacity-check/dispatch path for a job it evaluates fresh. This means task 1.2's fixture (or any single-round, freshly-arriving-jobs fixture) can NEVER be literally replayed-and-diffed for full dispatch/PEND parity -- sim's picker always PENDs a fresh job regardless of whether resource accounting is correct, so that comparison would be tautological for freshly-arriving jobs (though still meaningful for reconciled/already-resolved jobs). If a later task needs "real recording vs. sim replay" parity proof, build it the way task 4.1 did: a real driven normal-mode recording plus a hand-crafted sim-mode fixture modeling the identical facts (including at least one already-resolved-before-replay job to exercise reconciliation), not a literal single-file replay-and-diff. This is a real architectural limit, not a testing shortcut -- true dispatch-decision parity for freshly-arriving jobs is scheduler-allocation's (a separate, not-yet-designed spec) job, out of this feature's scope.
