acme: support serial-only revocation via local cert-version lookup

Closes the #7 acquisition-readiness blocker from the 2026-05-01 issuer
coverage audit. Pre-fix, ACME RevokeCertificate at acme.go:L519-L529
returned the literal error "ACME revocation by serial not supported in
V1; provide certificate DER". RFC 8555 §7.6 genuinely requires the
cert DER bytes (not just the serial), but a CLM platform's job is to
abstract over that limitation. Operators routinely have only the
serial in hand: lost PEM, rotated key, GUI revoke action driven by a
row in the certs list.

This commit:

- Adds CertificateLookupRepo interface at the ACME connector boundary
  (connector boundary, NOT a service/repository import — the connector
  accepts whatever satisfies the shape). Production wiring in
  cmd/server/main.go injects the postgres CertificateRepository; tests
  inject a fake.

- Adds CertificateRepository.GetVersionBySerial(ctx, issuerID, serial)
  + interface declaration in repository/interfaces.go, returning the
  certificate_versions row whose SerialNumber matches, scoped to the
  issuer via JOIN on managed_certificates. Mirrors the existing
  GetByIssuerAndSerial shape but returns the version (where PEMChain
  lives). Per RFC 5280 §5.2.3 the issuer scope is required for
  determinism.

- Adds SetCertificateLookup + SetIssuerID setters on *acme.Connector.
  Mirror the pattern local.Connector already uses for OCSP responder
  wiring. Both must be wired before serial-only revoke works;
  unwired state falls back to a more actionable error pointing at the
  wiring requirement (the historical "not supported" wording is
  retired).

- Rewrites RevokeCertificate end-to-end: lookup → empty-PEM check →
  pem.Decode → block.Type == "CERTIFICATE" check → ensureClient →
  golang.org/x/crypto/acme.Client.RevokeCert(ctx, accountKey, der,
  reasonCode). RFC 8555 §7.6 case 1 (revocation request signed with
  account key) — the same account key issued the cert, so authority
  is intrinsic. The not-found path returns an actionable operator-
  facing error pointing at the local-store requirement.

- Adds mapRevocationReason translating RFC 5280 §5.3.1 reason strings
  (unspecified, keyCompromise, cACompromise, affiliationChanged,
  superseded, cessationOfOperation, certificateHold, removeFromCRL,
  privilegeWithdrawn, aACompromise) into golang.org/x/crypto/acme.
  CRLReasonCode. Accepts canonical camelCase + underscore_lower +
  ALL_CAPS_UNDERSCORE. Nil reason → 0 (unspecified). Unknown reason
  errors rather than silently demoting (operators rely on the reason
  for compliance reporting).

- Wiring update in service/issuer_registry.go: SetACMECertLookup
  setter on the registry; Rebuild type-asserts *acme.Connector and
  calls SetCertificateLookup + SetIssuerID, mirroring the existing
  *local.Connector branch. cmd/server/main.go calls
  issuerRegistry.SetACMECertLookup(certificateRepo) immediately after
  SetIssuanceMetrics — the postgres repo satisfies the interface via
  GetVersionBySerial.

- Tests:
  * acme_revoke_test.go (new): TestRevokeCertificate_NoCertLookupWired,
    TestRevokeCertificate_NoIssuerIDWired,
    TestRevokeCertificate_LookupReturnsNotFound (operator-facing
    "may not have been issued through certctl" hint pinned),
    TestRevokeCertificate_LookupArbitraryError,
    TestRevokeCertificate_VersionPEMEmpty (corrupt-row guard),
    TestRevokeCertificate_PEMMalformed_NoBlock,
    TestRevokeCertificate_PEMMalformed_WrongType (PRIVATE KEY block
    rejected as not a CERTIFICATE).
  * TestMapRevocationReason_TableDriven: full RFC 5280 reason set
    plus camelCase / underscore / ALL-CAPS variants plus
    nil-reason and unknown-reason cases.
  * acme_failure_test.go: renamed TestRevokeCertificate_AlwaysError
    → TestRevokeCertificate_UnwiredCertLookupFallback; the test
    still exercises the same backward-compat branch but now
    asserts the new "CertificateLookup wiring" error wording.

- Mock-repo updates (3 sites): mockCertificateRepository in
  internal/integration/lifecycle_test.go, mockCertRepo in
  internal/service/testutil_test.go, mockCertRepoWithGetError in
  internal/service/shortlived_test.go each gain a GetVersionBySerial
  implementation that mirrors the GetByIssuerAndSerial logic but
  returns the version row.

- docs/connectors.md ACME section: new "Revocation by serial number"
  subsection covering the workflow, the local-store requirement
  (cert was issued through certctl, not imported), the reason-code
  mapping with the three accepted spelling variants, and a pointer
  to the audit reference.

Out of scope (intentional, per spec):

- Recovering the DER from outside the local cert store (CT logs,
  CSR + signature reconstruction). If the cert wasn't issued through
  certctl, revoke-by-serial via certctl isn't possible.
- Revocation via the cert's private key (RFC 8555 §7.6 case 2). The
  account-key path covers all certctl-issued certs because the same
  account key issued them.
- Pebble-backed integration test for the happy path. Pebble integration
  is the right home for that — the unit tests in this commit pin all
  failure-mode branches before the network call, and the wiring
  branch in Rebuild is exercised by the existing
  TestIssuerRegistryRebuild paths.

Verified locally:
- gofmt -l . clean
- go vet ./... clean
- staticcheck ./... clean
- go test -short -count=1 across connector, service, repository,
  integration, api/middleware, api/handler: green

**Note:** ACME-issued certificates rely on the Local CA for CRL/OCSP endpoints if they are stored in certctl's inventory. For issuers with their own public CRL/OCSP infrastructure (e.g., Let's Encrypt), clients should validate against the issuer's endpoints instead.
**Revocation by serial number.** RFC 8555 §7.6 requires the certificate DER bytes (not just the serial) on the revoke wire — but a CLM platform's job is to abstract over that limitation. Operators routinely have only the serial in hand: the original PEM was lost, the private key was rotated, the operator clicked "revoke" in the GUI based on a row in the certs list. certctl's ACME `RevokeCertificate(ctx, RevocationRequest{Serial: ...})` looks the serial up in the local cert store (`certificate_versions.pem_chain`), decodes the leaf-cert PEM into DER, and calls the ACME revoke endpoint with `(accountKey, der, reasonCode)` — RFC 8555 §7.6 case 1, "revocation request signed with account key". This works because the same account key issued the cert, so authority is intrinsic.
The cert version must exist in the local store: this means the cert was issued through certctl, not imported. If `GetVersionBySerial` returns `sql.ErrNoRows`, the connector returns an actionable error pointing at the local-store requirement. Revoke-by-serial is therefore only available for ACME certs that certctl issued.
Reason codes follow RFC 5280 §5.3.1: nil reason maps to `unspecified` (0), and the connector accepts the canonical camelCase form (`keyCompromise`, `cACompromise`, `affiliationChanged`, `superseded`, `cessationOfOperation`, `certificateHold`, `removeFromCRL`, `privilegeWithdrawn`, `aACompromise`) plus underscore_lower and ALL_CAPS_UNDERSCORE variants. An unknown reason returns an error rather than silently demoting to `unspecified` — operators rely on the reason for compliance reporting (PCI-DSS §3.6, HIPAA §164.312).
