iis,wincertstore,javakeystore: SHA-256 idempotency short-circuit

Closes Top-10 fix #3 of the 2026-05-02 deployment-target audit
re-run (see cowork/deployment-target-audit-2026-05-02-rerun/
RESULTS.md). Pre-fix, the three PowerShell-driven connectors
(IIS / WinCertStore / JavaKeystore) bypass internal/deploy.Apply
because they write to the Windows cert store / Java keystore via
PowerShell + keytool rather than the local filesystem. They don't
get deploy.Apply's SHA-256 idempotency short-circuit for free, so
every renewal triggers a full Remove+Import cycle even on byte-
identical material. Operators with 60-day rotation see unnecessary
cert-store / keystore churn, briefly bumping CPU and possibly
disrupting connections in flight.

This commit adds a per-connector idempotency probe modeled on
Bundle 9's Caddy api-mode SHA-256 short-circuit (commit 08a86d3).
Each probe runs at the top of DeployCertificate, BEFORE the
destructive step, with a unique # CERTCTL_IDEM_PROBE PowerShell
comment tag so test mocks match deterministically.

IIS: Get-ChildItem Cert:\... + Get-WebBinding; matches when both
the cert is in the store AND the active binding's certificateHash
equals the new thumbprint.

WinCertStore: Get-ChildItem Cert:\...\<thumbprint>; matches when
the cert exists in the configured store AND its NotAfter is
still in the future.

JavaKeystore: keytool -list -alias -v; matches when the parsed
SHA-256 fingerprint equals sha256(certPEM_DER).

On match: return Success=true with Metadata["idempotent"]="true",
no destructive operation. On any error during the probe (network,
parse, etc.): fall through to today's full deploy path.
False negatives are safe; false positives are dangerous.

Tests added (one positive + one negative per connector):
- TestIIS_Idempotent_SkipsDeployWhenBindingMatches
- TestIIS_Idempotent_DifferentBinding_FallsThroughToDeploy
- TestWinCertStore_Idempotent_SkipsImportWhenCertInStore
- TestWinCertStore_Idempotent_NotInStore_FallsThroughToDeploy
- TestJKS_Idempotent_SkipsDeployWhenAliasMatches
- TestJKS_Idempotent_DifferentAlias_FallsThroughToDeploy

Verified locally:
- gofmt clean across all three connectors.
- Syntax-validated via gofmt.
