Provisioning: Homogeneous authorization for file operations

Refactors authorization logic in dualwriter.go to ensure consistent and
secure validation across all file operations (create, update, delete, move).

## Key Changes

### 1. Homogeneous Authorization Flow
- All operations follow the same authorization pattern
- Simple validation checks (configured branch, path validation) happen BEFORE
  external service calls for performance
- Authorization checks happen consistently across all operations
- Provisioning service operates with admin-level privileges for resource types

### 2. Existing Resource Ownership Validation
- **CREATE**: Checks if resource UID already exists and validates permission
  to overwrite
- **UPDATE**: Validates permission on target resource
- **DELETE**: Validates permission on existing resource to prevent unauthorized
  deletion of resources owned by other repositories
- **MOVE**: When UID changes, validates permission to delete any existing
  resource with the new UID

### 3. Simplified Authorization Model
- Removed role-based authorization checks (editor/admin)
- Provisioning service is treated as admin-level for all operations
- Focus on resource-type level permissions via access checker
- Prevents cross-repository resource conflicts

### 4. Performance Optimization
- Simple checks (isConfiguredBranch, path validation) before external calls
- Avoids unnecessary authorization service calls when operation will be rejected
  based on simple rules

## Authorization Order

1. Parse and validate request
2. Check simple validation rules (configured branch check, etc.)
3. Authorize via external access checker
4. Check existing resource ownership (prevents cross-repo conflicts)
5. Execute operation

This ensures both good performance and comprehensive authorization.
