fix(hub): refuse node-scoped tokens on the admin and moderator API
A node's authority and a hub role are different notions: what a node may do is decided by its operator's roster pin on the node (NS4), while admin and moderator are hub roles on a person's account, exercised from a browser with a user-scoped token. The scope refusal was wired only onto require_user_scope (group mutation), so require_admin and require_moderator accepted a scope:"node" daemon token whenever the underlying account also held a hub role. On a deployment where the operator is a hub admin and runs a node, the daemon's in-memory token was therefore a full hub-admin credential — able to revoke accounts and groups (signed, broadcast to every node), change instance policy, and read the IP audit log. Factor the refusal into _reject_node_scope(payload) and call it from require_user_scope, require_moderator and require_admin alike, so a node-scoped token is turned away with 403 on every privileged route. test_node_scope_not_admin.py holds seven refusals, each asserting the same account's user-scoped token still gets in; verified red against the pre-fix deps.py and green after.
