J. Scott Miller 1ab4ed8db5 feat: exclude AI Bridge usage from AI Governance seat counting (#27280)
Under the new `ai-gateway-seat-exclusion` experiment, AI Bridge usage
stops counting toward AI Governance seats.

## Seat recording

Under the experiment, `RecordInterception` no longer records
`ai_seat_state` usage for the initiator: AI Gateway access is licensed
by the AI Governance add-on rather than per seat. This experiment is
independent of `workspace-capable-licensing` (#27279) so the two
licensing behaviors can be enabled separately. Task workspace builds
still claim AI Governance seats.

## Manual verification

Verified live on a dev deployment (provider chained to dev.coder.com's
gateway, model `gpt-5.6-luna`): with the experiment off, the first
bridge request from each identity type (admin, plain member, service
account) wrote an `ai_seat_state` row (`aibridge` reason); with it on,
requests recorded interceptions but left seat state untouched — no new
rows, and existing rows' `last_used_at` did not advance.

Part of the gateway-accounts feature.

## Stack

Part 2 of the gateway-accounts stack:

1. **#27279**: permission-based license seat counting. Behind the
`workspace-capable-licensing` experiment and gated on the AI Governance
add-on, `user_limit` counts only users the RBAC engine authorizes to
create workspaces.
2. **This PR**: stops AI Bridge usage from claiming AI Governance seats
under the new `ai-gateway-seat-exclusion` experiment.
3. ~~**#27281**: adds a `use_shared` capability precondition for
workspace ACL grants, so workspace sharing is ineffective for (and
rejected toward) users without workspace capabilities, evaluated live on
every authorization.~~ This will be done in follow-up work when we have
time to look into the performance impact.

Related but independent: **#27278** hides the Workspaces page create
CTAs for users without workspace-create permission.
