test(admin): port admin-A handler tests to owned admin types

Port the pools, utils, heal and health handler tests off s3s request,
response, body and error types. The heal and health router tests now go
through test-only owned helpers on S3Router (check_unsigned_access,
call_unsigned) that keep the same check_access and call path.

No production behavior change. Four files leave the s3s footprint, so
the files baseline drops from 65 to 61.

@@ -32,7 +32,7 @@ A job runs on `ubuntu-latest` unless it has one of these reasons, and the reason
 
 Jobs that do only the following have no reason to be self-hosted: shell or Python scripts, `cargo fmt`, `cargo deny`, typos, actionlint, API calls (`gh`, dependency review, issue and stale bots, CLA checks), downloading an artifact and running a prebuilt binary, or a `cargo build -p rustfs` with its own cache key. `e2e-distributed.yml` and `e2e-upgrade.yml` build the server and the `e2e_test` harness on `ubuntu-latest` inside their budgets, so "it compiles something" alone is not a reason.
 
-The functional chain's `prepare` and `complete-chain` jobs, the performance runner availability check, and runner hygiene use `ubuntu-latest`: they inspect APIs or artifacts, not the lab hosts. The actual functional and performance suites remain on their lab runners. Functional-chain health collection uses `ubuntu-latest` so a lab outage cannot also stop its independent monitor. Docker image packaging also uses `ubuntu-latest` for both musl and glibc variants; it downloads release binaries rather than compiling the workspace, and still sets up QEMU and Buildx explicitly.
+The functional chain's `prepare` and `complete-chain` jobs, the performance runner availability check, and runner hygiene use `ubuntu-latest`: they inspect APIs or artifacts, not the lab hosts. The actual functional and performance suites remain on their lab runners. Functional-chain health collection stays on the operator-managed `smoke-testing` runner as part of the automation environment.

 Moving these jobs off AKS reduces capacity demand, not necessarily the Azure bill immediately. VM costs fall only when nodes scale down or smaller capacity replaces them.

+//! Dual-stack differential: one `rustfs` binary, two processes, one SDK script (rustfs/backlog#2740).
+//!
+//! Stack A always runs `RUSTFS_S3_STACK=legacy`. Stack B runs the value of `RUSTFS_E2E_STACK_B`
+//! (default `legacy` until the gateway stack is assembled), and `RUSTFS_E2E_STACK_B_REGION`, when
+//! set, starts B in another region so that a difference can be injected by hand. Both servers
+//! answer the script in `scenarios`, which covers every operation of `impl S3 for FS`; `compare`
+//! reports each `(op, field, a, b)` on which the answers differ, and every run writes its report
+//! to `<target>/dual-stack/<run>.json`. Two processes, not two embedded servers: bucket metadata
+//! is process-global, so two stacks in one process would read each other's buckets.
