Ensure :actor, :actor_id and :action are all available to permissions SQL, closes #2520

- Updated build_rules_union() to accept actor as dict and provide :actor (JSON) and :actor_id
- Updated resolve_permissions_from_catalog() and resolve_permissions_with_candidates() to accept actor dict
- :actor is now the full actor dict as JSON (use json_extract() to access fields)
- :actor_id is the actor's id field for simple comparisons
- :action continues to be available as before
- Updated all call sites and tests to use new parameter format
- Added test demonstrating all three parameters working together
