fix(rbac,webapp): pass userId through plugin context, drop session-cookie helper

Background. The RBAC plugin contract took a `helpers.getSessionUserId(request)`
callback at create time. The OSS rbac.server module wired it up by statically
importing `getUserId` from `~/services/session.server`, which transitively
loaded the entire remix-auth pipeline:

  rbac.server.ts
    → session.server.ts → auth.server.ts
    → emailAuth.server.tsx (throws on missing MAGIC_LINK_SECRET at module load)
    → email.server.ts → commonWorker.server.ts (V1 services)
    → marqs/index.server.ts and taskRunConcurrencyTracker.server.ts
      (throw on missing REDIS_HOST/REDIS_PORT at module load)

Any module that pulled `rbac` in — including PAT-only call sites that have
no session-cookie path at all — therefore inherited a hard dependency on
the entire dashboard auth chain and the V1 queue. Webapp tests that mock
`~/env.server` to a stripped object (e.g. personalAccessToken.test.ts) hit
the module-load throws before their assertions ran.

Contract change (packages/plugins/src/rbac.ts).
- `authenticateSession` and `authenticateAuthorizeSession` now take
  `userId: string | null` in their `context` argument.
- `RoleBasedAccessControlPlugin.create()` no longer takes a helpers arg.
- The plugin treats `userId === null` as "no authenticated user"
  (same shape `helpers.getSessionUserId === null` returned).

OSS fallback (internal-packages/rbac/src/fallback.ts) reads
`context.userId` directly. LazyController (internal-packages/rbac/src/index.ts)
drops the helpers parameter through.

Webapp (apps/webapp/app/services/rbac.server.ts) drops the session.server
import entirely. dashboardBuilder.server.ts — the only `authenticateSession`
caller — resolves userId via session.server itself before calling rbac.

Side change (apps/webapp/app/services/scheduleEmail.server.ts new file).
Moved `scheduleEmail` out of email.server.ts to break a parallel chain:
email.server.ts → commonWorker → V1 services → marqs. email.server is
now just the SMTP/Resend client, as it should have been. Three caller
files updated: routes/invite-resend.tsx, routes/_app.orgs.$organizationSlug.invite/route.tsx,
services/mfa/multiFactorAuthentication.server.ts.

Verified locally with `REDIS_HOST="" REDIS_PORT="" pnpm vitest run
test/services/personalAccessToken.test.ts test/engine/triggerTask.test.ts`
— both files pass (11/11) with the env mocked stripped, which was the
CI failure mode on shards 1/2/4/5/6/7. Webapp + plugins + rbac
typecheck clean.

Cloud-repo plugin update is in a coordinated branch (rbac-packages on
APIHero/cloud) — same contract change in
enterprise/plugins/src/rbac/{index,controller,controller.integration.test}.ts.

Changeset: minor for `@trigger.dev/plugins` (contract change).

+RBAC plugin contract: `authenticateSession` and `authenticateAuthorizeSession` now take `userId` (resolved by the caller) in their `context` argument. The `helpers.getSessionUserId` callback passed to `RoleBasedAccessControlPlugin.create()` has been removed, and `create()` no longer takes a helpers argument.
+
+The previous shape pulled session-cookie resolution into the plugin's host module (the host had to statically import its session-cookie code to provide the helper at create-time), which dragged the entire session/auth pipeline into anything that imported the rbac singleton — including PAT-only callers that had no session-cookie path. Migrating: extract userId from the request at the call site (typically the dashboard route boundary) and pass it in `context: { userId, organizationId?, projectId? }`. The plugin treats `userId === null` as "no authenticated user" → `{ ok: false, reason: "unauthenticated" }`, matching the previous `helpers.getSessionUserId` returning null behaviour.
