benjamin.baker 31dc9d49e1 Add an All PCs policy scope that excludes servers
The policy builder only offered "Matches everything" (the `true` scope node),
which also targets servers. Authoring an estate-wide policy almost always means
"every PC an operator sits at", and a reboot or script push against a server is
a materially different event.

Adds an `allpcs` scope node that matches every endpoint except those whose
computer type is server-designated. Server designation reads the computer type's
ICON slug, which is nominally a UI hint and is now load-bearing; it was chosen
over matching the type NAME (a site can rename "Server") and over a new isserver
column (needs a migration). It is isolated behind SERVER_ICON so promoting it to
a real flag later is a one-place change.

The `true` node is retained and still matches servers, so existing policies keep
their exact meaning rather than silently re-scoping. It stays visible in the
dropdown only when editing a policy that already uses it; new policies default
to `allpcs`.

Covered by tests/test_plugins/test_computers_policy_allpcs.py, verified against
a planted canary so the server-exclusion assertions are known to bite.

"""Boolean scope evaluation for Configuration Policies.
A policy's scopejson is a small typed boolean AST over two endpoint dimensions,
PC type and installed application. This module is the ONLY place that interprets
that AST: it validates the shape (known node types, bounded depth) and evaluates
a validated tree against a resolved endpoint context.
Node grammar (all dict nodes carry a "type"):
{"type": "and", "nodes": [<node>, ...]}
{"type": "or", "nodes": [<node>, ...]}
{"type": "not", "node": <node>}
{"type": "pctype", "id": <computertypeid:int>}
{"type": "app", "id": <appid:int>}
{"type": "allpcs"} # every PC EXCEPT those whose type is designated a server
{"type": "true"} # matches everything, servers included
"allpcs" vs "true": authoring an estate-wide policy almost always means "every
PC an operator sits at", not "every computer we have a row for". Those differ by
the servers, where a reboot or a script push is a materially different event.
"true" is retained because a stored scope of None is equivalent to it and older
policies were written with it, but the builder offers "All PCs" instead.
Server designation is read from the computer type's ICON slug ('server'). That
field is nominally a UI hint, which is a real wart - it is load-bearing here. It
was chosen over matching the type NAME because a site can rename "Server" but a
renamed type keeps its icon, and over a new isserver column because that needs a
migration this did not warrant. If server designation ever becomes a first-class
flag, this is the single place that reads it.
Kept pure and dependency-free (no db, no Flask) so it is trivially unit-tested
and so a future GE-Enforce assembly engine can reuse the exact same evaluator on
the exact same AST when it composes policies.
