fix(security): use icacls /sid for locale-independent Windows ACL audit (#38900)

* fix(security): use icacls /sid for locale-independent Windows ACL audit

On non-English Windows editions (Russian, Chinese, etc.) icacls prints
account names in the system locale.  When Node.js reads the output in a
different code page the strings are garbled (e.g. "NT AUTHORITY\???????"
for "NT AUTHORITY\СИСТЕМА"), causing summarizeWindowsAcl to classify SYSTEM
and Administrators as untrusted and flag the config files as "others
writable" — a false-positive security alert.

Fix:
1. Pass /sid to icacls so it outputs security identifiers (*S-1-5-X-...)
   instead of locale-dependent account names.
2. Extend SID_RE to accept the leading * that icacls prepends to SIDs in
   /sid mode: /^\*?s-\d+-\d+(-\d+)+$/i
3. Strip the * before looking up the bare SID in TRUSTED_SIDS / the
   per-user USERSID set so *S-1-5-18 is correctly classified as SYSTEM
   (trusted) and *S-1-5-32-544 as Administrators (trusted).

Tests:
- Update the inspectWindowsAcl "returns parsed ACL entries" assertion to
  expect the /sid flag in the icacls call.
- Add "classifies *S-1-5-18 (icacls /sid prefix form of SYSTEM) as trusted"
  SID classification test.
- Add "classifies *S-1-5-32-544 (icacls /sid Administrators) as trusted".
- Add inspectWindowsAcl end-to-end test with /sid-format mock output
  (*S-1-5-18, *S-1-5-32-544, user SID) — all three classified as trusted.

Fixes #35834

* fix(security): classify world-equivalent SIDs as 'world' when using icacls /sid

When icacls is invoked with /sid, world-equivalent principals like
Everyone, Authenticated Users, and BUILTIN\Users are emitted as raw
SIDs (*S-1-1-0, *S-1-5-11, *S-1-5-32-545). classifyPrincipal() had
no SID-based mapping for these, so they fell through to the generic
'group' category instead of 'world', silently downgrading security
findings that should trigger world-write/world-readable alerts.

Fix: add a WORLD_SIDS constant and check it before falling back to
'group'. Add three regression tests to lock in the behaviour.

* Security: resolve owner SID fallback for Windows ACL audit
