fix: apply the verified-user role gate to WebSocket authentication (#27537)

The Socket.IO handshake and the terminal WebSocket route each reimplement JWT authentication instead of going through the HTTP dependency chain. Both verified that the token decoded, that it had not been revoked, and that the user row existed, but neither applied the role check that `get_verified_user` enforces on every HTTP route, so any role outside `user` and `admin` was accepted.

That splits authorization across two planes. Deactivating an account by setting its role to `pending` takes effect immediately over HTTP, which returns 401, while the same JWT still opens a WebSocket. Changing a role disconnects the account's live sockets but does not revoke its token, so the client simply reconnects and gets a fresh session. Until the token expires, four weeks by default, a deactivated account keeps its channel rooms and can still read and write any note it holds an access grant on through the collaborative document handlers.

Resolve the user once, in `get_verified_user_by_token`, and route both WebSocket entry points through it. The role set moves into `VERIFIED_USER_ROLES` so the HTTP and WebSocket gates cannot drift apart, which is the underlying cause rather than either call site on its own. This also replaces five copies of the decode, revocation check and user lookup sequence.

`user-join` now resolves the user instead of reusing the identity cached in `SESSION_POOL`, which costs one extra query per handshake. Gating on the cached role would make the authorization decision depend on every future role-mutation path remembering to tear down the session pool, and that is precisely the invariant that failed here.
