audio/ownership: validate inherited SPA-JSON with libspa, not a scanner

Browse Source 
Round 11 review, findings 2, 3 and 4.

The round-10 fix replaced a brace check with a hand-written scanner. That was
the wrong shape: a second implementation of someone else's grammar drifts in
both directions at once, and measured against `spa-json-dump -s` on this host
it did.

It ACCEPTED `{ "foo" = { garbage } }` (only brackets were balanced, contents
never validated), `{ "a" = "\é" }`, `{ "a" = é }` and `{ "a" = foo\bar }`.
Merging into those put an invalid pair before our carriers, so the daemon
stops at it and drops both -- recreating the exact fail-open the round-10 fix
existed to close. Its own test even pinned `"\é"` as a valid token.

It REJECTED `{ target.object, "my-sink" }`, `{ key == "value" }` and
CR-terminated comments, all valid -- so a user with one of those in their
environment silently lost their routing policy to an overwrite. That half
affects a running Linux user.

Now libspa's own parser validates, and the merge splices into the validated
text instead of re-emitting parsed pairs. Splicing preserves the user's bytes
exactly, which also answers the review's point that re-quoting a bare key can
invent a different one (`foo\bar` -> a string with a \b escape). Three
measured properties make the splice safe -- the last `}` is the object's, a
validated object's brace is never mid-comment, and commas are pure separators
-- and the result is validated again before it is returned.

Mutation testing then deleted the rest: every pairing and recursion check I
had written turned out to be redundant, because spa_json_next already errors
on `{ garbage }` and on nested garbage, and skips containers rather than
descending. ~60 lines of my own grammar logic removed. What remains is gated
by a new differential test against `spa-json-dump -s` over a 27-value corpus
-- the check whose absence caused this round. It found a real disagreement on
its first run (a bare document, which we reject by design, not by accident).

One mutation HUNG rather than failed: dropping the `length < 0` check makes
libspa report the same error without advancing, spinning forever. Kept, now
labelled load-bearing for termination, with a token-count bound beside it.

Finding 4: the ordering test took the first textual match of `fn main`, so a
raw-string decoy above the real function satisfied it while the real one
spawned a thread first. Now requires each of the three anchors to be unique.
Mutation-verified with the review's own decoy.

/// **The invariant the whole finding is about: no inherited value, however

/// This is the check whose absence caused round 11. The previous validator
/// was a hand-written scanner, and nothing compared it to the real grammar
/// — so it drifted in both directions at once and neither the unit tests
/// nor the 20,000-input property test noticed, because both used *it* as
/// their oracle.
///
/// The merge has two outcomes — parse and rebuild, or overwrite — and both
/// are supposed to end with our two pairs present in a well-formed object.
/// A deterministic walk over an alphabet of the exact characters that
/// break SPA-JSON (braces, brackets, quotes, separators, comment marks,
/// escapes, newlines, multi-byte characters) checks that directly, and
/// checks the result parses — an output our own parser rejects would be an
/// output the daemon may well truncate, which is the live failure this
/// finding began with.
/// Now that the validator is libspa itself this should be true by
/// construction, which is exactly why it is worth asserting: if it ever
/// fails, the construction is not what we think it is.
///
/// `#[ignore]` because it shells out to a PipeWire tool that CI need not
